An urban freight transport index

Author: Eduardo Betanzo-Quecada
Abstract:

A multi-factorial model is presented that assesses the performance of authorities in dealing with the issues derived from freight transport within cities. Such an index was inspired by the efforts made by other OECD countries to lessen environmental and social impacts of freight transport within the urban areas. The model produces an Urban Freight Transport Index (UFTI), which quantifies the intention of the authorities to cope with urban freight transport externalities. A mid-size Mexican city is rated with 115 points, from an ideal 807 points.
