The freight industry is rapidly evolving, driven by the growth of e-commerce, increasing demands on emergency mobility, and persistent challenges such as truck parking shortages. These issues are often overlooked but are critical to developing a resilient and efficient freight transportation system and shaping priorities for urban freight management.
