Project description

This paper seeks to assess the growing usage of bicycles and tricycles for goods movement in Paris city and the resulting savings in CO2 emissions between 2001 and 2014. Results from a regional household survey are evaluated to estimate the growth in consumer shopping trips made via bicycle. To quantify new commercial goods movements via human-powered or electricallyassisted bicycles or cargo cycles, results from an original survey of nine couriers and delivery companies are presented. After identifying growth in cycle freight volumes and the modes by which these trips previously moved, CO2 savings are estimated.
