E-Delivery Program

Updated: May 5


Food and Beverage Pilot


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.

Program Goals

  • Improve safety and the user experience in and around Breckenridge's Main Street and Riverwalk corridors.

  • Reduce vehicular traffic and improve delivery efficiency

  • Reduce idle times and vehicle miles travelled to improve local air quality and reduce GHG emissions.

Preliminary Implementation Results


The E-Delivery pilot program operations officially launched on November 11, 2024. Since that time, the program has:

Removed 2,495+ delivery trucks from the downtown core service area.
Delivered over 482,866+ cases of product to local businesses.
Reduced GHG emissions by over 84,370 lbs.

(Data last updated 3/16/2026)


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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did this program come to be?

The E-Delivery program launched as a pilot in November 2024. Over the subsequent year, the Town collected data on the volume of goods being delivered in Breckenridge’s downtown core to understand the viability of a long-term delivery and logistics solution. The Town continues to develop the initial pilot towards becoming a permanent full-scale program.

How do I opt in/out of the program?

Individual restaurants/bars/liquor stores do not opt into/out of the program. Distributors may voluntarily apply to join the program, and may be accepted depending on the program's operational capacity.


106West maintains a waitlist of additional distributors that may be phased-in to the program as capacities allow. If you are a distributor interested in participating in the program please reach out to info@106west.co

What vendors/distributors participate in the program?

As of 5/4/2026, there are 17 vendors participating in the program. The program is voluntary. Vendors must obtain an annual dock permit and pay the fee by September 30 each year to continue to participate in the program.

Will the pilot remove all the trucks from downtown and the Riverwalk?

No. While the program will have a significant impact on vehicular traffic and congestion, the program will not cover all distributors nor will it include other types of truck traffic such as FedEx or UPS.

What is the geographical service area of the program?

The program is focused on Main Street, Ridge Street, and French Street from N French Street to the corner of Main St and Park Ave. Phase 1 of the program will not service the La Cima Mall area. As the program matures, the contractor may look to expand where it makes operational sense.



Where is the delivery dock located?

The E-Delivery & Logistics dock is located at 480 N French Street, on what was previously vacant land on the SW corner of the property.


Do I have to arrange to pick up items at the dock?

No, this is a delivery program. All goods will be delivered via low-speed electric vehicle to your establishment. A customized plan for delivery will be arranged by 106West in cooperation with your management team.

What vehicles will be used for deliveries?

The vehicles selected for this program are electric ClubCar Urban LSVs. These vehicles have a load capacity of over 2200 lbs and are currently being used by the Swedish postal service year-round to deliver mail all over the country. The batteries are blanketed and can easily handle the volume, multitude and variety of trips the pilot program will require. They are also equipped to handle snow and to drive on Breckenridge’s roadways. 

Who is paying for the program?

The Town of Breckenridge fully funded the initial pilot program starting in 2024 through September 30, 2026. Beginning Oct 1, 2026 distributors that wish to continue participating in the program will need to purchase an annual E-Delivery Dock Permit. The annual dock permit fee recoups a small portion of the overall cost to operate the program, whilest majority of the program cost will continue to be covered by the Town of Breckenridge.

Will the permit fee costs be passed along to my business?

The Town of Breckenridge does not control pricing between distributors and restaurants. In other similar programs in Colorado, distributors have not passed costs on to restaurants. Restaurants can negotiate pricing directly with their vendors. Streamlined distributor routes resulting from this program are estimated to save distributors on labor hours, fuel costs, truck wear and tear, scheduling, and efficiency.

Will 106West handle all types of goods in the pilot program?

No. The pilot program will focus on food and beverage and will have a limited interface with retail goods. 106West will also handle soiled linen and empty keg shell returns on a daily basis. 

How will 106West handle product returns?

The program has standards of procedure (SOP) for products returns. This SOP should not differ much from your current procedure for product returns. 

How will 106West handle lost/damaged goods?

The program has an SOP for lost/damaged goods. This SOP should not differ much from your current procedure for lost/damaged goods. Until the goods are received by 106West, the goods are the responsibility of the distributor. Once the goods are received by 106West, the goods are the responsibility of 106West. Once the goods are delivered to the end customer, the goods are the responsibility of the end customer. 106West will have appropriate bonding and insurance in place for the pilot program. 106West will keep delivery logs, timestamps, and photos of delivery operations.  

How will 106West staff the pilot program?

The pilot program will have five (5) full-time employees, which includes (1) dock manager and four (4) dock workers/delivery personnel. 106West has staffed the dock manager position and is hiring for full-time dock worker/delivery personnel positions.  

How will 106West deliver my goods?

This procedure should not differ much from your vendor’s current delivery procedures, except (1) the goods will be delivered via 106West using low speed electric vehicles, and (2) the goods will be generally checked by 106West prior to final delivery (case counts, visual inspection for breakage and missing items, etc). To the extent possible, the delivery of each customer’s goods will be customized to their establishment.  SOP

How will 106West handle my volume of goods?

106West currently works with over 50 distributors and handles ALL food and beverage deliveries for over 50 establishments in Vail Village. This  amounts to 7500+ cases of food and beverage per day. While the pilot program is designed to handle a smaller amount of distributors and product in Breckenridge, the volume of goods is not a concern. Further, in the event Breckenridge desires to fully-implement a food and beverage delivery program, 106West will scale services to handle the increased volume accordingly.  

How will 106West deliver during Breckenridge events?

106West will coordinate with event and town staff to ensure there’s no disruption to deliveries. Because of the smaller nature of the delivery carts, they are not as impacted by road closures, detours, or other event accommodations. A central delivery zone will greatly reduce the number of large trucks trying to navigate road closures and detours.
