	The Final 50 Feet program looks at methods to improve delivery at the end of the supply chain, such as loading areas, traffic control and street design. We will pilot low-cost and high-value actions to optimize operations of goods. This will help us understand, maintain and enhance safer and efficient deliveries throughout a city and region.

	Moving people and goods have historically been considered very separate needs. As e-commerce and travel options rapidly change transportation activities, conversations about each need to join so we can successfully share use of limited spaces in dense urban environments.

	SDOT and the University of Washington’s Urban Freight Lab (UFL) have a partnership with the goal of improving goods delivery in Seattle. Two key goals have been identified early for the Final 50 Feet program, which looks at ways to improve delivery at the end of the supply chain, such as loading areas, traffic control and street design.

	The program includes analyzing processes, developing potential solutions, and piloting operational improvements in the final 50’ of the urban goods delivery system in a city. The final 50’ of the urban delivery system begins with the city-owned curb, commercial vehicle load zone, or sidewalk, extends through privately-owned building freight bays, and may end in the common areas within a building such as the lobby.

	* '''Data Collection & Analysis:''' The first step is to gather data on how people and goods are interacting. The urban goods delivery system includes both public and private facilities. Surprisingly, there isn't a lot of current information that tells us about modern shopping habits, delivery information technologies, or how building design affects deliveries. While street parking facilities are well documented in Seattle’s databases, off-street private facilities are not. UFL researchers spent last autumn collecting data on off-street private goods delivery facilities in downtown Seattle. The team utilized SDOT’s data to begin developing a multi-layer GIS map of truck load/unload locations in all 523 blocks of downtown including Belltown, the commercial core, Pioneer Square, International District, South Lake Union, and Uptown Urban Centers. They compiled GIS coordinates and infrastructure characteristics of all deliverable freight loading bays within buildings.		* '''Data Collection & Analysis:''' The first step is to gather data on how people and goods are interacting.

This analysis will enable researchers to identify process steps that contribute the most to truck dwell time and failed deliveries, model what-if scenarios for various solutions and determine promising improvements to pilot test in Seattle.		* '''Process Flow:''' Additionally, steps are in included for collecting original data to create process flow maps of the Final 50’ activities for the 5 types of buildings in the city: a hotel, historic building, residential tower, office tower, and a retail center.
