This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The purpose of this strategy is to consider current GM freight distribution, delivery, servicing and logistics activities and set out the ambitions of the region, balancing the often conflicting needs of freight and passenger demand for our transport network and systems. The supporting intervention plan offers a way to achieve the objectives through a package of initiatives which carefully balances risk and reward for the region and the industries operating within it. The strategy considers the activities of all modes of freight transport and, in relation to road freight transport, it covers both Heavy Goods Vehicles and Light Goods Vehicles. The latter are often used not only for freight activity but also for carrying out servicing activities and as a means of personal transport. The strategy will focus on achievements up to 2025.
Resources needed

Potential for learning or transfer
Within the GM F&L Strategy is a series of interventions which all have a positive impact on the urban environment. Freight and Logistics is often a neglected area of urban transport, yet its impacts can be vast. Many regions may not understand the impact that the fright sector has on their environments or how to mitigate these. This strategy sets out to other what can be achieved in this area.
