Evidence reduced energy use as a result of DSPs. Transfer knowledge and exchange experience between experienced and less experienced organisations. Promote best practice in freight energy efficiency amongst local and regional authorities and the private sector in Europe

(1) Delivery and Servicing Plans (DSPs) are key strategy documents outlining how an organisation will deal with its need to generate freight transport efficiently, safely and in a sustainable way.

(2) Freight, delivery and servicing activity is the lifeblood of every city and organisation. There is a need to mitigate the adverse impacts on the environment and individuals of congestion, emissions and safety. DSPs can assist with this task. A DSP is the starting point for managing freight, delivery and servicing activity. DSPs are specifically aimed at actively increasing the efficiency of the freight transport systems in urban areas. They will reduce vehicle movements, the energy used in the supply chain and transport related emissions. A DSP is the equivalent of a workplace travel plan for freight. It can be applied to organisations, specific locations and geographical areas. A DSP consists of a range of tools, actions and interventions. A DSP will include an Action Plan which is updated continually throughout the lifetime of the DSP as it is implemented.

What is a Delivery and Servicing Plan? (3) DSPs can vary in scale and scope. A DSP can be created for: A single building with one or more tenants; A large development with multiple tenants e.g. Railway Station or Shopping Centre; A number of buildings, with different tenants, but covered by the same landlord or facility Management Company; A number of buildings, under the umbrella of an organisation who is not necessarily the landlord e.g. a municipality; A discrete geographical area.

The benefits of a Delivery and Servicing Plan? (1) The benefits of a DSP for Municipalities includes: Less congestion on local roads Reduced carbon emissions Improved air quality (NO x, PM 10 ) Use of more sustainable modes where possible, so contributing towards CO 2 reduction targets Fewer goods vehicle journeys, so lowering the risk of collisions Opportunity to reduce parking enforcement activity costs as more deliveries will use legal loading facilities so less traffic and parking infringements will occur Improved quality-of-life for local residents through reduced noise and intrusion and lower risk of accidents The benefits for residents and visitors in city and town centres centre around: Reduced congestion Less noise produced by delivery and servicing activity Improved road safety Better public health

It does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Union. Neither the EACI nor the European Commission are responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein. The benefits of a Delivery and Servicing Plan? (2) For Businesses the benefits of a DSP are Actively increasing the efficiency of the freight transport systems in urban areas. A starting point for freight management, which directs the implementation of measures and initiatives aimed at: Reducing and retiming deliveries Redefining building operations Ensuring procurement activities also account for vehicle movement and emissions Educating staff on the consequences of their procurement activity A DSP also benefits freight operator through the following: Fuel savings through reduced, re-timed or consolidated deliveries Efficient use of vehicles as delivery reliability will assist planning deliveries More certainty over delivery times, therefore increased customer satisfaction Fewer journeys at less congested times will reduce the risk of collisions Legal loading areas mean less risk of them receiving penalty charge notices The production of a Delivery and Servicing Plan encourages greater communication between businesses and operators at an operational level. This is an important link that may not currently exist and lead to improvements in the last mile of delivery.
