| Abstract: | The article focuses on New York City’s expansion of a pilot program that provides delivery companies with dedicated curb space, called "microhubs," to transfer packages from trucks to smaller, zero-emission vehicles for last-mile delivery. Two new on-street microhubs have been installed in Manhattan, while planned off-street sites under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway remain under development. The program, operated by companies including Amazon and Net Zero Logistics, aims to reduce truck traffic, double parking, and emissions, and has already replaced over 3,000 truck trips. The initiative aligns with the city’s broader efforts to manage curb space more effectively amid growing e-commerce demands. [Extracted from the article] |
