The performance of urban freight systems needs to be improved so that cities can enhance their economic competitiveness and reduce logistics-related costs while improving air quality, creating jobs, and helping achieve climate goals. Several cities in India and around the world have implemented measures that can address different urban freight-related issues. This Handbook details a few such measures as a knowledge resource and guide for city practitioners. Enacted effectively, these measures can help reduce logistics costs at the national level and improve India’s ranking in the Logistics Performance Index (LPI).
