摘要：	Last mile delivery has emerged as the most important segment in supply chain management of the package deliveries. It is a daunting task to achieve for the manufacturers to sellers at local, regional, state, national, and global level. Many e-commerce giants are creating its own delivery service in order to reduce shipping costs and improve shipping services to customers. It is likely that Amazon and other delivery companies may turn to the urban and rural transit industry to partner in last mile package delivery. Given the growth in the delivery market, it appears to be the right time to investigate how rural transit may have a role in the last mile package delivery system. The goal of this project is to assess the feasibility of last mile package delivery as a revenue generation tool for rural public transportation systems in Wyoming. In an effort to assess the feasibility, the research team conducted an in-depth literature review and surveyed local Wyoming businesses, state department of transportation officials, and transit managers. The survey results, literature review, and demand and potential revenue suggest that the transit agencies have a needed capacity to add a package delivery service, a market for the service, and a facility to house the service. Looking at the number of households in Wyoming, the researchers estimate that on average, each county could see $215,373 in potential revenue from package delivery via public transportation systems. The following are specific recommendations that, if implemented, would help to initiate package deliveries in rural areas: (1) Build a relationship with riders, businesses, and stakeholders; (2) Access potential markets; (3) Develop a level of package delivery services; (4) Develop integration of passenger and package delivery services; (5) Collaborate with Intercity Bus Services and other package delivery companies; and (6) Begin building a package delivery infrastructure. A strong and continuing support of WYDOT to transit services to add last mile package delivery will benefit transit agencies, their parent organizations, local communities, businesses, organizations, and e-commerce and shipping industries.
