7 Transfer sites

4 Best practice sites

Different experiences

Different context types

5 ETP sites (external to

the partnership)

Exchanging experiences: tools & events

� 6 Good Practice Round Table (GPRT)

• technical sessions on themes of particular interest for SUGAR good practicesites, to stimulate dialogue and sharing of experiences

� 4 Train the Trainers Sessions

• training sessions dedicated to developing new skills of partneradministrations, covering both technical and soft side city logistics relatedpolicy, strategy and planning

� 4 Joint Planning Exercise (JPE) Sessions

• Dedicated events for transfer sites, where local context and policies areanalyzed and discussed with SUGAR Good Practice site representatives, andviable options and planning solutions are jointly evaluate

� Technical Site visits

• Usually to support the GPRT & JPE and for checking the host city‘simplemented urban logistics solutions

- Location, Access Control, time windows

- Costs, benefits

- Short / long term

Data Collection & Elaboration

SUGAR training participants have seen different motives for collecting / elaborating data:

- Monitoring key indicators. (e.g.: evolution of spaces)

- Developing and assessing measures

- Benefits/costs estimations (for scheme justification)

- Understanding the impacts of specific logistics chains

- Modelling and longer-term land-use planning

Conclusions

1. The pack of tools used in SUGAR has facilitated the definition of good UGD practices and their transfer.

2. Participants with different profile benefit from the training and/or validate their knowledge.

3. Transport Engineering and Enforcement AND PARTNERSHIPS are needed to optimise Urban Goods Distribution (UGD).

4. Using a life-cycle scheme the SUGAR Guide enables practitioners to appreciate when and where to work up those measures that involve other stakeholders, and hence develop Pacts that promote UGD excellence.
