Stand Against Big Rigs on I-580
Caltrans has initiated a study to evaluate the effects of overturning the decades-old ban on heavy trucks on Interstate 580. The California Trucking Association (CTA), a freight industry lobbying group, has a longstanding interest in lifting this ban which will not only affect traffic on I-580. It will also allow 80,000 lb. big rigs to access Highway 13 and other East Bay highways and streets. A Caltrans spokesman has confirmed that overturning the ban will enable big rig trucks to avail themselves of “cut through traffic” on our city streets as trucks find new routes to avoid congestion..
Discover critical facts about the Caltrans study and unite with neighbors committed to keeping our streets safe and free from 80,000 pound trucks
why we urge you to support the fight Against heavy Trucks on I-580
Our platform is dedicated to informing and mobilizing East Bay residents, and to advocate for maintaining the truck ban. We want to keep the truck ban to help preserve and protect our communities and travel corridors. These corridors are essential to maintaining safe routes to our schools, health care facilities, emergency services and local businesses. The current truck ban keeps heavy trucks off of I-580 and Highway 13 and most of our neighborhood streets and connecting corridors.
