- "Zero-Emissions Zones"
White Paper
Published: 2025
Summary:
New research from the Urban Freight Lab outlines how U.S. cities can advance zero-emission freight goals despite legal and regulatory barriers that limit the use of formal Zero- and Low-Emission Zones. The paper presents a practical four-part toolkit that combines incentive-based “pull” strategies with regulatory “push” tools, supported by real-world examples from cities including Portland, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, and New York.
