Portland, OR seeks downtown tailpipe emission reductions with Zero-Emission Delivery Zone pilot

Portland, OR Zero-Emission Delivery Zone Pilot Emission

In Progress

The first-of-its-kind zone in the United States prohibits gas-powered delivery vehicles in a 16-block area. Three loading zones are converted into ZEV-only zones and sensors monitor the types of traffic within the pilot area. The Bureau of Transportation will partner with B-Line Urban Delivery for last-mile logistics from delivery hubs. Portland received $2 million in federal transportation grants for the pilot with $15 million available for expansion if successful.

This project will test different strategies to promote cleaner ways to deliver goods within the pilot area.
