Transit flow that crosses town area is the main problem that creates conditions to form a number of issues to be solved by implementing the measures of green logistics.
What are the challenges in your region?
Most important challenges are linked to the safety and security as well as to air pollution and noise level.
What is your long term vision of the goods transports in Rietavas? How have you met the challenges?

The vision of the pilot measure implemented in the frame of the LCL project – development of centralized goods delivery system for the institutions operating under municipalities order (eg. kindergartens, shools, hospital, mucipality administration). The delivery should be organized by using an environmentally- friendly transport.
