Transport for LondonLondon Freight Plan
The plan contains proposals to:
- Deliver improvements
- Improve understanding of freight issues
- Address London's transport needs
To implement the proposals, it is essential to develop new ways of working between the wide range of public bodies, businesses and operators with a stake in the freight industry.
The plan identifies four key projects to deliver freight in London more sustainably:
- Freight Operator Recognition Scheme. This helps members increase operational efficiency, to reduce C02 emissions, congestion, collisions and operator costs. It links with training for drivers and managers that promotes safer and more fuel efficient operations through better driver behaviour
- Delivery and Servicing Plans (DSPs). These increase building operational efficiency by reducing C02 emissions, congestion and collisions by improving relationships between building operators and their supply chain
- Construction Logistics Plans. These have similar objectives to DSPs but focus on the design and construction phases of premises
- Freight Information Portal. This will help London's public authorities and freight operators exchange information about:
- Reducing operators' administrative costs
- Enhance freight journey planning
- Improving operational efficiency
- Encouraging better driver behaviour, the use of alternative fuels and the uptake of low-carbon vehicles
