WHAT GOES WELL? • High proportion of deliveries already consolidated (retail-chains up to 75%); • Transporters may enter outside time window if consolidated enough (enough deliviries per trip); • Bundling waste collecting (83%) © Buck Consultants International, 2008
What can be improved • Consolidation – 45% of the delivery’s still causes 80% traffic (Inefficient delivery’s for small shops) • Garbage collection could combine more • Less exceptions for time windows (like “fresh” food) © Buck Consultants International, 2008
Sustainable city logistics, ‘s-Hertogenbosch approach: Shopkeepers key players, because • “cause” the problem • Are problem-owners (attractiveness and accessibility) • Have a predominant role in solutions The role of the city council is mainly facilitating the proces korte puntstraat
Cooperation / proces is crucial • Common goals, ”more then profit alone”; • Create multi solutions; (logistics, noise, waste collection, safety, cost savings) Korte Putstraat (restaurant street): • Collective agreements with the retailers; • Key sharing; • Practical agreements; • 100% participation!
Cooperation: City Centre-management (Since 1993) Enhance the economic functioning of the inner city. • Association of shopkeepers; • Horeca Netherlands, branch 's-Hertogenbosch; • Association of Market stalls; • Association of real estate owners; • City of 's-Hertogenbosch • Chamber of commerce (advisory role) Keep in mind: who do they really represent?
Local Climate charter : 2050 zero CO 2 emissions
Some lessons • Start pilots to: – Enhance network of shopkeepers; – To show that it can work; – Small group of willing shopkeepers; – Easy, simple and visible measures • Combine policy fields (economy, sustainability, innovation, traffic) • Start with an idea instead of money.
• Thanks for your attention
