Project overview
The aim of the Southampton Delivery and Servicing Plans (DSPs) project was to conduct DSPs on organisations located in and/or around Southampton for Southampton City Council (SCC) via a sub-contract arrangement with the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
A DSP is a flexible plan to minimise the costs, impacts and number of deliveries and servicing visits to an organisation, and is developed through an audit of the current situation, analysis of the audit’s results, and the formulation and implementation of a plan-of-action. DSPs are widely seen as an effective method to reduce (inter alia) harmful emissions from delivery and servicing vehicles, and SCC’s desire to improve air quality in Southampton is the background to the project.
