In the following chapter, policy measures are developed which encourage transport users to implement sustainable freight transport. First, organizational theories are used to provide theoretical insights on how to stimulate the use of sustainable practices in Subchapter 6.1. These organizational theories are merged into a theoretical framework which supports the development of policy measures for sustainable freight transport. A fundamental goal of policy measures is to eliminate market failures. Subchapter 6.2 explains which market failures occur in the area of sustainable freight transport and should be addressed by policy measures. Afterwards, a set of user-centric policy measures is presented in Subchapter 6.3 to promote sustainable freight transport. A new classification scheme is suggested to categorize the user-centric policy measures, namely carrots, means and sermons.
