Increasing demands on the kerbside and congestion pressures mean local authorities are looking for innovative ways to safely enable more flexible use of kerb space, offering equitable access for all – while supporting climate action plans and new revenue streams for cities.
Consultation with Local Authorities and Landowners
Locations and key inputs are identified and agreed upon with local authorities and land owners.
Find out about our consultation process.
- Bay locations and sizes
- Existing regulations
- Changes required for the lifting of regulations
- Time slots and operation times (maximum stay)
- Costing dependant on vehicle types
- Sector specific bay types
- Permitted vehicle bays types
- Bay features (i.e. EV only bays)

Kerbside Management in 3 simple steps
1. Mapping
bays
1. Mapping bays
Local Authorities will allocate the relevant bay locations in their current GIS mapping tool.
Through integration, this information will be passed to Grid and the defined locations will become available to book within Kerb Delivery.
For visual purposes only
2. Booking
Fleet operators who have registered for a Kerb Delivery account can now find and book the bays within the Web and Mobile applications
For visual purposes only
3. Usage data
View and export data generated from the use of the bays.
This can enable organisations to increase the efficiency of their Civil Enforcement Officer operations, understand usage patterns and plan to mitigate risks.
For visual purposes only
A transport view of daily micro-transits at the kerbside enables a more targeted approach to management and dispensation of loading bays.
Potential to generate up to £140 million in revenue for London per annum with a more targeted approach to kerbside usage.
Improve road safety due to less delivery vehicle congestion in cities.
Reduces CO2 emissions by up to 15,000 tonnes per annum – the equivalent of removing 12,600 cars from the road.
Enables up to 21% more parcels to be delivered each day.
Lower fuel costs and more time saved from the certainty of booking a loading bay.
Fewer road traffic accidents and a reduction in time spent circling and idling on the roads.
A reduced carbon footprint with up to a million delivery van
The freight, servicing and delivery sector has exponentially grown to service the needs of residents and businesses in cities. However with this growth it is impacting local air quality and increasing congestion in a constrained physical environment.
Greener, smarter options are needed to offset the environmental impacts affecting communities of those living and working in urban areas.
Kerb is a solution that can be implemented without extensive infrastructure or policy changes and has the endorsement of the Department for Transport. The innovative technology based solution can be rolled out now without the need to wait for legalisation change.
Inspire the Future
Freight, servicing and delivery vehicles in London make over 40,000 trips per day and create up to 23% of all road transport CO2 emissions. This has exponentially grown over the last two decades. However, the growing demand for goods and services does not need to come at the expense of public health and our environment.
We see a future where urban centres thrive, where people, businesses and the environment coexist harmoniously.
