Green Modes of Transportation for Connecticut's Mixed Use Developments

The project multi-disciplinary team will create a dynamic business and transportation model for the delivery of goods fro the existing and proposed commercial establishments located in downtown Storrs, Connecticut. These models will demonstrate how the delivery of goods can be transformed from the existing ad-hoc, carbon producing affair to an organized systematic approach which will increase profits for the local businesses, use green modes of transportation and functionally/symbolically begin to change the approach to Connecticut's transportation needs. The team will create a flexible, replaceable process which can be used for other towns in the state and region.
