The Integration of Urban Goods Transport and Delivery in the Development of Municipal Mobility Plans in the Walloon Region: Towards a Comprehensive and Cross-Sectional Approach

Goods transport is an essential factor in the economic and social development of any city. However, it may cause many forms of nuisances, both atmospheric and acoustic, as well as congestion and road safety problems that hamper the quality of urban life. It is therefore vital to seek ways to reduce these nuisances, while at the same time optimizing the delivery of goods and the traffic generated by this activity. Three years ago, the Walloon Region started paying more attention to goods transport and taking sections in this field, considering the problems arising daily by this issue in urban areas. This paper will focus on two of these actions. The first one is a manual on how to integrate goods transport in the formulation and implementation of a Municipal Mobility Plan (MMP) and the second is a study into the use of analysis tools to develop an integrated goods transport policy at a local level.
