Book excerpt: The New York City Off-Hour Delivery (OHD) Program - a program that encourages night deliveries (between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.) to businesses in NYC - has proven to be successful and impactful, reducing freight traffic in the daytime hours and providing significant savings in terms of transportation costs and environmental emissions. The main objective of the program was to create and implement the Trusted Vendor Program (TVP), a recognition program designed to foster OHD in urban areas. Businesses that have a Trusted Vendor are more likely to accept off-hour deliveries because the program provides business establishments with information about trustworthy shippers and carriers that fulfill the required conditions of safe and community-friendly delivery practices. The program functions through a nomination process, where vendors are recognized based on their excellent track record with clients, business partners, and government agencies. Certified Trusted Vendors are acknowledged and displayed on the program website, providing an initial reference for receivers and promoting vendor involvement in OHD and future sustainability initiatives.
