Transportation Permits allow for the regulation of oversize and/or overweight truck traffic throughout the City.  This is important because it allows staff to maintain circulation for conventional vehicles and to minimize the potential for damage to City infrastructure.  The Municipal Code at Chapter 10, Vehicles and Traffic details the City's regulations regarding truck routes and oversize/overwieght vehicles.

A Transportation Permit is required for movement on City roads all vehicles exceeding the limits of a legal load as defined by the California Vehicle Code:

• 14 ft. 0 in. Height
• 12ft 0 in. Width
• 65ft. 0 in. Length
• 80,000 lbs Gross Weight

A permit can be obtained in one of the following ways:

• Via a Permit Service: Experienced personnel who charge a fee to obtain a permit for their client. Recommended for applicants who are not familiar with program requirements.
