Abstract:

This paper establishes the rationale and potential of receiver-led consolidation programs for freight demand management. In doing so, the paper provides background on consolidation programs, analyzes data collected from receivers of deliveries, and estimates a behavioral model to shed light on the factors explaining receivers’ interest on cargo consolidation. The resulting model is used to assess the potential participation of establishments in a receiver-led consolidation program and the benefits that this initiative could bring to large metropolitan areas, using New York City as a case study.
