Food and Beverage Pilot 2024-2025
The E-Delivery Program is an innovative approach to improving safety and guest experience along Main St and the Riverwalk corridor. Participating food and beverage distributors deliver product to a centralized delivery dock, and those goods are checked and transferred onto small electric carts operated by 106West logistics, who completes the last mile delivery to end customers in the service area. By reducing the number of large delivery trucks in the downtown core, the program increases safety for pedestrians and bicyclists in these critical areas. Delivery efficiency is improved as distributors only need to make one stop rather than 10-20, saving them time and expense on their routes. Reduced driving and idling time of delivery trucks also improves local air quality and lowers GHG emissions as a direct result.
The E-Delivery Program will operate as voluntary pilot for food and beverage distributors for about a year, as additional data and feedback are gathered. The data collected during the pilot period will be used to help inform any future phases of the program.

106West’s community electric vehicle delivery services are a first in the nation program. The program was adopted by the Town of Vail to increase the safety of pedestrians, improve the guest experience, and reduce environmental impacts caused by vehicular traffic in pedestrian mall areas. 365 days a year, they receive and deliver all of the commercial food and beverage products, including alcohol, for Vail Village core. They work with over 50 vendors/distribution companies and service over 45 bars and restaurants. The program is efficient, coordinated, cost effective, and environmentally friendly.
In addition to last mile solutions, 106West serves Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin, and Summit counties with interline services, medical industry transport, and general courier services.
106West has been selected as the contractor to operate the E-Delivery and Logistics pilot in Breckenridge for the 2024/25 season.
