Good practice:

E-Cargo bikes

MK has 21 bikes with the help of Government funding. Three bikes have been donated to deliver food from community fridges. Other bikes are used by Council tree inspectors and available for loan to local businesses.
Bikes can carry up to 630 litres so useful for the delivering to the last mile. Reducing emissions from transport will help MKC achieve their low carbon targets and reduce transport costs for local social enterprise organisation and local businesses.

Capital to buy the e-bikes.
Suitable cycle paths that are safe for riders.

As of August 18th, Milton Keyes Council tree inspectors have clocked up 1000 carbon free miles.
Food charity can deliver free food to families on low incomes without transport costs.

Any city can develop an e-cargo bike loan scheme.
Usually the 'last mile' is energy intensive and expensive so great savings can be made on fuel costs and CO2 emissions.
