Off Peak Delivery

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is conducting a study aimed at assessing the feasibility of policies to increase off-peak deliveries (7 PM to 6 AM) to the congested areas of New York City. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is the lead consultant to the study.

Your company is one of a select number chosen to participate in this study. This is your company's opportunity to provide input into this important project which will ultimately translate into public-policy. Further, the policies developed from this project could be used as part of your company's development strategy to better serve the diverse and changing needs of the communities in which you do business, allowing you to be a better community partner by providing benefits to society as well as adding to your company's profits.

Our project team needs to understand your basic points of views on off-peak deliveries in order to better communicate them to the NYSDOT. We are extremely interested in ensuring we get adequate feedback from the business communities. The confidentiality of your responses is absolutely guaranteed.

You could provide input by responding to this brief questionnaire. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at (518) 276-6221 or by e-mail at jhv@rpi.edu
