Abstract
This study presents the characterization and identification of problems and possible solutions in the loading and unloading operation of commercial establishments located in the space defined for the operation of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in downtown Medellín (Colombia), which aims to mitigate the effects caused by environmental pollution in this area, thereby protecting people's health. It also identifies the perception of the establishments to possible strategies to be implemented for the delivery operations and reception of goods in the LEZ. For this study, a survey was conducted with a sample of 104 companies in a representative corridor selected from the LEZ. From the results obtained, it was identified a greater interest in initiatives such as cargo bicycle mobility.
