City Manager’s Comments:

The City Manager recommends adoption of the Resolution which adopts the Citywide Truck Routes.

Executive Summary
Work on a truck route study was initiated in March of 2022 and the city’s traffic consultant, KOA/Lochner, began preparation on the City of San Bernardino City-Wide Truck Route Study with a draft which was completed in August 2023 (Attachment 4). The intent of the truck route study was to identify truck routes to be designated in the Circulation Element of the General Plan2050 update.

In September 2024, Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 98 (AB98), which established statewide warehouse design and build standards and required that the City, along with many other cities within the warehouse concentration region identified in the bill, adopt truck routes before January 1, 2026 (Attachment 5).

Truck traffic is a significant component of our overall transportation system. Many of the City’s vital industries rely heavily on regional and local truck transportation. Trucks are essential to businesses and jobs in the city and nearly 25% of the City’s jobs depend on warehousing and transportation. The City’s manufacturing core, rail industry, and distribution warehouses all rely on an efficient network of truck routes.

The purpose of truck routes is to balance the needs of businesses while avoiding many of the negative impacts associated with them such as noise, odor, and air quality. Two truck route options are proposed for City Council’s consideration. Option A is the version that was considered and recommended to the City Council by the Planning Commission (Attachment 7).

Option B has also been included for City Council’s consideration. Option B evolved after the Planning Commission as a result of concerns over truck access in the Muscoy area.

Option B deletes a few truck routes in the Muscoy area but is otherwise identical to the version considered by Planning Commission. The City Council action to adopt the Resolution in recommendation #1 would adopt Option A. Furthermore, City Council action to adopt the Resolution in recommendation #2 would adopt Option B. (Attachment 8). Attachment 8A provides a comparison between Option A and B. The proposed truck routes shown on the truck route maps follow existing arterials and collectors as designated in the City’s existing General Plan Circulation Element, or when necessary, on local roadways that predominantly serve existing industrial land uses. These truck routes connect with federal and state highways.

Background
On November 10, 2025, the Planning Commission considered Resolution No. 2025-051, forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and City Council (Attachment 6).

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-051 of the Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino, California, recommending to the Mayor and City Council approval of General Plan Amendment 25-03 and Amendment to Municipal Code Title 10, Article I, Chapter 10.24, by adding Section 10.24.195, adopting Citywide Truck Routes and finding that the project is subject to a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act and directing staff to comply with Warehouse Design and Build Standards pursuant to AB98.

The Planning Commission, after receiving public testimony, voted (5-0) to approve Resolution No. 2025-051. The Planning Commission recommended Option A to City Council (Attachment 7).

Proposed Truck Routes
Assembly Bill 98 (AB98) requires all jurisdictions within the warehouse concentration region (including the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino and the Cities of Chino, Colton, Fontana, Jurupa Valley, Moreno Valley, Ontario, Perris, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Rialto, Riverside, and San Bernardino) to update its circulation element to include truck routes, as specified in Section 65302.02. by January 1, 2026. This effort is required to include the identification and establishment of specific travel routes for the transport of goods, materials, or freight for storage, transfer, or redistribution to safely accommodate truck traffic and avoid residential areas and concentrations of sensitive receptors, as defined. The bill further requires the city to provide for posting of signage to identify truck routes and additional signage for truck parking and appropriate idling facility locations. The bill authorizes the Attorney General to enforce these provisions, as provided, including by imposition of a fine of up to $50,000 every 6 months if the required updates have not been made.

The proposed truck routes map shows the truck routes within the City Limits (Attachment 7). Trucks are authorized to use these truck routes which are designed to direct truck traffic to state and federal highways. However, trucks can also use other streets if they are picking up or delivering goods to a business that is not on a truck route.

More specifically CVC 35703 states that cities are prohibited from adopting and ordinance that:
“………..shall prohibit any commercial vehicles coming from an unrestricted street having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has previously been obtained.

Packet Page. 20
Truck routes outside of the City are neither established nor regulated by the City.

Municipal Code Amendment
Section 10.24.190 of the Municipal Code prohibits commercial vehicles on certain streets based on gross vehicle weight. The proposed Truck Routes would publicize roadways where large trucks are allowed rather than just prohibited. Staff has reviewed the proposed truck routes and determined that none of the recommended truck routes conflict with the list of prohibited streets listed in the Municipal Code.

The proposed ordinance would amend Municipal Code Title 10, Article I, Chapter 10.24, adding Section 10.24.195 to adopt Citywide Truck Routes and formally adopt the proposed truck routes.

Warehouse Design and Build Standards
AB98 requires cities to comply with the Warehouse Design and Build Standards after January 1, 2026 (Attachment 3). These standards will be incorporated into the new Development Code that is tentatively scheduled for hearings during the 1st quarter of 2026. The standards will be either included by reference or directly incorporated into the updated Development Code. Starting January 1, 2026, staff will be implementing the AB98 Warehouse Design and Build Standards. This action further memorializes that the city is committed to implementing these standards.

Discussion
This request includes three (3) components:

1. General Plan Amendment. Pursuant to requirements of AB98, staff is proposing General Plan Amendment No. 25-03 to amend the City’s current General Plan Circulation Element as follows (Attachment 9):
a. Page 6-8, adding the following text:
“GOODS MOVEMENT
The City of San Bernardino has taken steps to manage truck traffic and designate appropriate truck routes within its jurisdiction in accordance with the California Vehicle Code. Through the adoption of City Ordinance Section 10.24.190, titled Commercial Vehicles Prohibited on Certain Streets, the City formally established restrictions on heavy vehicle access to specific roadways. The ordinance also directs the installation of appropriate signage to clearly identify these prohibitions and applicable weight limits along the designated streets, ensuring compliance and promoting roadway safety.

The city commissioned a truck route study, published in 2023, that recommends a truck route network that balances the needs of supporting the goods movement economy while minimizing adverse impacts to residential communities and public Packet Page. 21
spaces within the city. Several factors were considered in the development of this network, including roadway classification, pavement condition, truck travel patterns tracked via mobile app data, and land use. Study routes and other route classifications are displayed in Figure C-3.”
b. Page 6-10, adding Figure C-3 titled as The City of San Bernardino General Plan Truck Routes.

2. Municipal Code Amendment. To manage the impact of freight truck traffic on the street network, the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 10.24.190 regulates commercial vehicle access on certain streets. Pursuant to requirements of AB98, staff is proposing an ordinance to amend the City’s Municipal Code Title 10, Article I, Chapter 24, adding Section 10.24.195 to read as follows (Attachment 10):
a. “Adopt The City of San Bernardino General Plan Truck Routes designated as Figure C-3 in the City’s General Plan by reference or other updated version of the General Plan Truck Routes.”
Warehouse Design and Build Standards. AB98 requires cities to comply with the Warehouse Design and Build Standards after January 1, 2026 (Attachment 3). These standards will be incorporated into the new Development Code that is tentatively scheduled for hearings during the 1st quarter of 2026. In the meantime, the city is required to comply with these standards. Starting January 1, 2026, staff will be implementing the AB98 Warehouse Design and Build Standards since state law requires them. This action further memorializes that the city is committed to implementing these standards.

Analysis
The proposed truck routes are a result of requirements of AB98 as well as the City-Wide Truck Route Study prepared by City’s traffic consultants, KOA/Lochner.

The Truck Route Study
The Truck Route Study was developed for the City of San Bernardino, as part of the General Plan update. The study analysis and report were undertaken by KOA Corporation, with The Tioga Group, Inc. as a subconsultant. The mapping of the truck routes was accomplished with the help and expertise of the San Bernardino Police Department’s Commercial Enforcement Unit responsible to enforce compliance with the adopted truck routes.

The goals of the Study included the following:
• Determine the existing pattern of medium-duty and heavy-duty truck trips. • Identify the reasons behind existing truck trip patterns. • Determine potential shifts or increases in truck trip patterns from future development inside and outside the city.
• Identify potential conflicts between existing truck routing patterns, proposed truck routes, and community preferences.

Packet Page. 22
• Develop an understanding of future commercial and industrial land development plans in neighboring cities and the greater Inland Empire.
• Prepare truck route system options to balance the need for truck access and through movements with local community preferences.

Local truck trip patterns are determined as much or more by adjoining land uses as by the city’s development patterns.

This Study provides the following results, from this analysis and definition of routes:
• Defines the basis of compliance with federal and California Vehicle Code trucking regulations.
• Identifies existing policies and regulations at all government levels that enable and define trucking operations on public roadways.
• Provides the basis for commercial vehicles and truck regulations through ordinances or resolutions so that commercial and industrial areas within the City limits can be served, while prohibiting commercial vehicles and trucks from using certain highways within residential areas.
• Defines the regulatory routes that control both truck travel and parking locations. • Summarizes the characteristics of each truck route segment, including roadway and lane widths, and overlap with future bicycle projects.
• Supports the diversion of trucks from residential areas and Downtown. • Recommends Municipal Code amendments on truck regulations. • Provides a framework for regulatory truck route sign placement.

Option A
Based on the analysis of roadway characteristics and trucking activity, summarized in Section 3 of the City-Wide Truck Route Study (Attachment E), a set of recommended truck routes within the city was developed and included in the Study. The Police Department’s Commercial Enforcement Unit is responsible for enforcing the adopted truck routes map. Through further review by the Commercial Enforcement Unit, refinements have been made to the truck routes proposed by the KOA Study and the final version recommended by staff is provided as Attachment G. Most of the proposed truck route segments connect to regional routes on State Route highways or freeway interchanges, or link into other routes in neighboring cities. Others end up at industrial parcels that require access, but do not continue farther into nearby residential areas.

Option B
As stated above, because of scheduling reasons, the meeting with County took place after the Planning Commission hearing. City staff including the City’s Commercial Enforcement staff met with the County to discuss the truck routes in the Muscoy area.

Both the City and the County have proposed truck routes in this area. During the meeting it was determined that some truck routes can be eliminated in this area to protect the Packet Page. 23
residential areas. As stated above, CVC 35703 still would allow trucks to serve the businesses in this area. However, pass through truck traffic will be eliminated since these road segments are not designated as truck routes. Attachment 8A provides a comparison between Option A and B.

Requirements of AB98
AB98 requires the city to complete the following as part of selection of truck routes and the implementation of other aspects of AB98:

1. Identify and establish specific travel routes for the transport of goods, materials, or freight for storage, transfer, or redistribution to safely accommodate truck traffic and avoid residential areas and sensitive receptors.

2. Maximize the use of interstate or state divided highways as preferred routes for truck routes. The City shall also maximize use of arterial roads, major thoroughfares, and predominantly commercially oriented local streets when state or interstate highways are not utilized. Truck routes shall comply with the following:
i. Major or minor collector streets and roads that predominantly serve commercially oriented uses shall be used for truck routes only when strictly necessary to reach existing industrial zones.
ii. Trucks shall be routed via transportation arteries that minimize exposure to sensitive receptors.
iii. On and after January 1, 2026, all proposed logistics use developments, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 65098, shall be accessible via arterial roads, major thoroughfares, or roads that predominantly serve commercially oriented uses. iv. City shall provide for posting of conspicuous signage to identify truck routes and additional signage for truck parking and appropriate idling facility locations. v. City shall make truck routes publicly available in geographic information system (GIS) format and share GIS maps of the truck routes with warehouse operators, fleet operators, and truck drivers.
vi. City shall provide opportunities for the involvement of citizens, California Native American Indian tribes, public agencies, public utility companies, and civic, educational, and other community groups through public hearings and any other means the planning agency deems appropriate.
vii. City shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the changes required pursuant to this section.

Warehouse Design and Build Standards
The Warehouse Design and Build Standards of AB98 requires cities to comply with a variety of standards related to logistics facilities (Attachment 3). Prior to incorporating these standards into the new Development Code, staff is proposing these standards be implemented through a memorandum issued by the Director of Community Development.

This action further memorializes that the city is committed to implementing these Packet Page. 24
standards as required by AB98 as included in Chapter 2.8 Warehouse Design and Build Standards including sections 65098, 65098.1, 65098.1.5, 65098.2, 65098.2.5, 65098.2.7, 65098.3, 65098.4, 65098.5, 65098.6, 65098.7, 65098.8, and 65098.9.

Outreach and Coordination
When the truck route study was initiated, representatives of the Public Works, Fire, Police and Planning Department were engaged in selecting routes and determining how trucks could efficiently move through the city. Additional recent outreach was completed as follows:

1. In September of 2025, staff reached out to the California Trucking Association to ensure they review and make available to their members the proposed truck routes map. The Trucking Association reviewed the proposed truck routes map and prepared a letter dated October 29, 2025 (Attachment 11). The letter requested that the city ensure the proposed truck routes connect to truck routes of the surrounding jurisdictions. As part of the stakeholder outreach, staff has reached out to other jurisdictions to coordinate and obtain input from them, more on that in Section 3 of this paragraph. In addition, they requested assurance that 53-foot semitrailers are able to access retail, commercial, and industrial areas for pickup and delivery of goods and services. As described above, CVC 35703 requires cities to allow truck access to businesses that are not on truck routes.

2. In early October, staff communicated with People’s Collective for Environmental Justice (PC4EJ) to discuss the proposed truck route map. On October 22, 2025, a meeting was held with this group and approximately 15 San Bernardino residents.

During the meeting staff presented the proposed truck route map to the group.

Although the group did not specifically have comments on the proposed truck routes, they, however, drew attention to the following issues:
i. There are too many warehouses in the city and new ones should not be proposed specially near residential areas.
ii. Too many trucks travel on City streets, and they impact quality of life of the residents including through traffic safety, air quality, noise, and vibration impacts. iii. Trucks cause damage to the city streets, and the resulting potholes damage the residents’ cars.
iv. City is not able to keep up with repairing potholes. v. The diesel fumes from trucks cause many health issues. vi. Idling trucks on streets and private property disturb the residents and impact their quality of life.
vii. Truckers ignore no idling signs and idle their truck and City enforcement is insufficient.
viii. Warehouses should not be built near homes.
ix. City should do a better job of involving residents in issues that impact the residents.

They suggested direct mail to all residents.
x. The residents would like to be involved in the general plan and development code update as well as implementation of AB98 warehouse standards.

Packet Page. 25
xi. Residents would like the city to consider more restrictive standards than AB98 such as distance between proposed warehouses and residential areas.

3. Emails were sent to agencies and organizations listed on Attachment 12, inviting them to provide comments and informing them of the Planning Commission hearing date.

To date, we have received comments from the Police Department which have been incorporated into the proposed truck route map. In addition, County of San Bernardino requested meeting to discuss the Muscoy area as discussed above. All other agencies, other than California Trucking Association and the People’s Collective for Environmental Justice (PC4EJ), have either not responded (Soboba Tribe, Gabrieleno Tribe, City of San Bernardino Water Department, San Bernardino County Fire Department, Southern California Edison, The Gas Company) or they had no comments (Cities of Colton, Rialto, Highland, Redlands, San Manuel Tribe).

The Police Department will also air public service announcements once the Truck Route Map is scheduled for a hearing, informing members of the public and the trucking community in general, of pending changes to the truck route and the city’s codes. Also, staff is considering media blasts through the city’s public information office, advising the same and informing the California Trucking Association.

It should be noted that truck routes will also be a topic of discussion for the public hearings that are part of the process of adopting the General Plan, Downtown Specific Plan, and Development Code that will occur in 2026.

Implementation

1. City shall install signage to identify truck routes and additional signage for truck parking and appropriate idling facility locations.

2. City shall make truck routes publicly available in geographic information system (GIS) format and share GIS maps of the truck routes with warehouse operators, fleet operators, and truck drivers.

3. City shall, through the Commercial Enforcement Unit of the Police Department, shall inform the public including truck drivers of the newly adopted truck routes in the City and methods and policies on enforcement and violations through public service announcements.

4. City shall forward a copy of the adopted truck route map to the California Trucking Association for distribution to their members.

5. City shall distribute information regarding the newly adopted truck routes through social media, City website.

6. City shall implement the Warehouse Design and Build Standards included in AB98 starting January 1, 2026, and include interested members of the community.

7. City shall include the Warehouse Design and Build Standards included in AB98 in the City’s new Development Code.

General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future development and policy. In addition, the proposed General Plan Amendment and Packet Page. 26
Municipal Code Amendment are mandated by the State therefore are required to be implemented regardless of consistency with the General Plan:

2.2.3 Sensitively integrate regionally beneficial land uses such as transportation corridors, flood control systems, utility corridors, and recreational corridors into the community. (LU-1 and CD-1)

2.3.6 Circulation system improvements shall continue to be pursued that facilitate connectivity across freeway and rail corridors. (C-1)

2.10.2 Permit amendments to the General Plan in accordance with the following:
a. Technical Amendments – involves changes that do not alter the basic assumptions or policy direction of the plan and only involve changes of a technical nature (corrections to statistics; mapping error corrections; editorial clarifications that do not change the intent of the General Plan) may be approved by the Director of Community Development & Housing, as necessary.
b. Mapping/Policy Amendment - involves changes in land use designations, basic assumptions, the vision, or policies and requires approval by the Mayor and City Council and a recommendation by the Planning Commission. (LU-1)

4.4.1 Provide the necessary public infrastructure to enable businesses to operate successfully and direct new businesses to areas that can adequately serve new uses.

Prioritize and market improvements to allow development to anticipate the location and timing of infrastructure improvements.

4.5.3 Expand the City’s industrial base and manufacturing related employment through public improvements, community events, and marketing efforts.

6.4.8 Develop appropriate protection measures along routes frequently used by trucks to minimize noise impacts to sensitive land uses including but not limited to residences, hospitals, schools, parks, daycare facilities, libraries, and similar uses. (LU-1)

6.5.1 Provide designated truck routes for use by commercial/industrial trucking that minimize impacts on local traffic and neighborhoods.

10.2.5 Participate in the process of selecting routes that are the most acceptable for the safe transportation of hazardous waste material within the city limits. Streets with high concentrations of people, such as the downtown, or with sensitive facilities, such as schools and parks, should be avoided to the maximum extent possible.

The proposed truck route implements the above General Plan goals and policies in that it designates major streets as truck routes to both promote economic development by providing good accessibility to the industrial/commercial areas and reduces truck traffic from other routes to protect the health and safety of the community.

Packet Page. 27
California Environmental Quality Act
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA), Section 15301(c), permits categorical exemptions from CEQA for actions such as regulating truck routes. Adoption of Resolution No. 25-051 to add citywide truck routes is exempt from CEQA, as the truck routes formalize existing patterns of trucking activity, matching the use of the existing roadways currently used by trucks. No new road segments have been identified for truck routes that are not currently used by trucks or are not currently one of multiple alternate and primary routes to an industrial or commercial parcel. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed truck routes would not change the distribution of truck traffic compared to existing conditions. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15301, the recommended Code amendments are categorically exempt from CEQA in that they relate to operation of public streets and do not propose an expansion of use of the public street (Attachment 13).
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The proposed truck routes align with Goal 4. Economic Growth and Development as it updates the General Plan and the Municipal Code. The proposed truck routes will create an economic benefit to the commercial/industrial businesses in the city and, at the same time, protect the health and safety of the community by limiting trucks to routes designated as truck routes.

Fiscal Impact
City will install signage as required by AB98. Engineering staff have completed a preliminary cost estimate for these signs in the amount of $75,000. The Commercial Enforcement Unit of the Police Department will be monitoring the impact of adoption of truck routes on staffing and will determine whether additional resources will be required.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino:

3. Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No.

4. Direct staff to comply with AB98 Warehouse Design and Build Standards pursuant to AB98 (Attachment 3); AND

5. Schedule the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1657 for the regularly scheduled meeting of the Mayor and City Council on January 7, 2025.

8 CEQA Review
Introduction
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption (NOE) may be filed if the City of San Bernardino, in its capacity as the lead agency, determines that a proposed action or project is exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA.

According to the CEQA Guidelines, a NOE must contain the following:
 A brief description of the proposed action or project;  A finding that the proposed action or project is exempt, including a citation to the State CEQA Guidelines section or statute under which the project is found to be exempt; and,  A brief statement in support of the finding.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX
9 Brief Project Description
General Plan Amendment 25-03 and Municipal Code Amendment to Title 10, Article I, Chapter 10.24, Adding Section 10.24.195 to adopt Citywide Truck Routes, and direct staff to comply with AB98 Warehouse Design and Build Standards Applicable CEQA Exemption
Class 1 Exemption (Existing Facilities)
The Community Development Department – Planning Division of the City of San Bernardino has reviewed the proposed Project and has determined that it is categorically exempt as California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA), Section 15301(c), permits categorical exemptions from CEQA for actions such as regulating truck routes. Adoption of Resolution No. 25-XXX to add citywide truck routes is exempt, as the truck routes formalize existing patterns of trucking activity, matching the use of the existing roadways currently used by trucks. No new road segments have been identified for truck routes that are not currently used by trucks or are not currently one of multiple alternate and primary routes to an industrial or commercial parcel. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed truck routes would not change the distribution of truck traffic compared to existing conditions. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15301, the recommended Code amendments are categorically exempt from CEQA in that they relate to operation of public streets and do not propose an expansion of use of the public street (Attachment J).

Findings Supporting the Applicable CEQA Exemption
The City of San Bernardino determined, following an evaluation of the religious facility, that the proposed Project would not result in any significant effects on the environment. This determination is based on the following:
a. Truck routes formalize existing patterns of trucking activity, matching the use of the existing roadways currently used by trucks.
b. No new road segments have been identified for truck routes that are not currently used by trucks or are not currently one of multiple alternate and primary routes to an industrial or commercial parcel.
c. Adoption of the proposed truck routes would not change the distribution of truck traffic compared to existing conditions.

City of San Bernardino – City-Wide Truck Route Study Page 1 1 INTRODUCTION
The Truck Route Study was developed for the City of San Bernardino, part of the General Plan update.

The study analysis and report were undertaken by KOA Corporation, with The Tioga Group, Inc. as a subconsultant.

The goals of the study are the following:
 Determine the existing pattern of medium-duty and heavy-duty truck trips.  Identify the reasons behind existing truck trip patterns.  Determine potential shifts or increases in truck trip patterns from future development inside and outside the city.
 Identify potential conflicts between existing truck routing patterns, proposed truck routes, and community preferences.
 Develop an understanding of future commercial and industrial land development plans in neighboring cities and the greater Inland Empire.
 Prepare truck route system options to balance the need for truck access and through movements with local community preferences.

Establishment and enforcement of a truck route network can reduce damage to city streets where truck traffic can be prohibited, and also can reduce the number of trucks that drive past schools and residential neighborhoods.

The adoption of the recommendations in the Truck Route Study, and subsequent passing of an ordinance, will allow the City Council to designate the routes that trucks must use when passing through and traveling to and from points within San Bernardino. The ordinance will define the ability of the City to legally enforce the truck routes. Truck route signage will be installed along the truck routes as part of the implementation plan.

The analysis of potential truck routes included consideration of land use, roadway functional classification, pavement conditions, industrial corridors and single site locations, interagency linkages, truck delivery needs, and overall city circulation needs. Local truck trip patterns are determined as much or more by adjoining city land uses as by San Bernardino’s own development patterns.

This study provides the following results, from this analysis and definition of routes:
 Defines the basis of compliance with federal and California Vehicle Code trucking regulations  Identifies existing policies and regulations at all government levels that enable and define trucking operations on public roadways
 Provides the basis for commercial vehicles and truck regulations through ordinances or resolutions so that commercial and industrial areas within the City limits can be served, while prohibiting commercial vehicles and trucks from using certain highways within residential areas  Defines the regulatory routes that control both truck travel and parking locations  Summarizes the characteristics of each truck route segment, including roadway and lane widths, and overlap with future bicycle projects
 Supports the diversion of trucks from residential areas and Downtown  Recommends Municipal Code changes on truck regulations  Provides a framework for regulatory truck route sign placement A truck route map is included in this report. A table that lists the proposed truck route segments is also included, including all segments by roadway, and pavement quality, curb lane widths, and proposed bicycle facility segments under the City Active Transportation Plan (ATP). Pavement quality values were compiled from the City pavement management system. Curb lane widths were compiled as well, to determine if widths are adequate for truck travel. Data on proposed bicycle facilities indicates where bicycle facility implementation may be in conflict with the truck routes. Pavement rehabilitation and/or roadway improvements may be necessary before truck route implementation.

Selected intersections along the proposed truck routes were analyzed for potential truck turning issues.

The roadway intersections were selected for this analysis to identify potential restrictions in geometry where trucks would be turning. These locations may have to be evaluated further and potentially improved as part of the implementation of the truck routes.

City of San Bernardino – City-Wide Truck Route Study Page 3 2 REGULATORY

FRAMEWORK
Existing federal and state laws are reviewed in this section, as these laws affect how trucks can use national and regional freeway and highway networks, and they also affect how local jurisdictions can regulate truck travel. Existing City of San Bernardino regulations on trucking are also reviewed in this section.

2.1 FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Federal law sets the maximum gross vehicle weights and axle loads on the Interstate System, at 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, 20,000 pounds for each single axle, and 34,000 pounds for each set of tandem axles. The National Network includes the Interstate highways and certain roadways designated by each state, and there are Federal standards on the Network for truck length and width.

The 1982 federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) allowed larger trucks on the National Network. These larger trucks are called "STAA vehicles”. Federal regulations prohibit states and local jurisdictions from enacting or enforcing any law denying reasonable access to STAA vehicles between the National Network and terminals or trucking destinations for loading/unloading, including facilities for food, fuel, repairs, and rest.

The Senate Joint Resolution Number 7 of 2003 maintained the current federal truck size and weight limitations at the time, and rejected proposals to experiment with longer and heavier trucks on public highways. This was done as part of the reauthorization of the federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.

States may not enact or enforce any law that denies access within one road-mile from the National Network, for trucks that use the most reasonable and practicable route available. Specific safety reasons on individual routes can justify mandating that alternate routes be used. Vehicle dimension limits on state or local regulations are not permitted to be more restrictive than federal requirements.

Truck operators may request access from the National Network, if such a route is not defined by State truck network maps, by specific truck types along specific routes to points of loading and unloading.

States are required to have defined procedures for the review of new route requests within a 90-day period.

2.2 STATE REGULATION
The movement of trucks is regulated by the State of California for State highways and Interstate routes within California, and local jurisdictions are permitted by State law to regulate access by trucks to local roadways. Other policies, establishing the right to regulate truck trips and enforce weight limits, are defined by the California Vehicle Code (CVC).

Maximum truck size and weight regulations in the CVC ensure that trucks have safe operating characteristics, such as clearance under bridges, turning radius at corners, and stopping capability. The regulations also ensure that truck movements and parking do not damage state and local highways and roadways. The CVC allows local jurisdictions to issue permits to vehicles in excess of these size or weight standards. The CVC includes sections that define how truck size and weight limits may be enforced, and provides authority to local jurisdictions to establish truck routes on specific streets and to prohibit trucks on other streets.

Caltrans District 8, which encompasses San Bernardino County, publishes a Truck Networks on California State Highways map, as do the other Caltrans districts throughout California. The National Network within the County is defined by this map, as are the STAA truck terminal routes and California Legal Routes.

Figure 2-1 provides an illustration of the STAA routes on the freeways and highways in San Bernardino.

All of the Interstate highways and the State highways in the area are STAA routes. One of the State highways within the center of the city, Foothill Boulevard, is a designated STAA route from the I-215 freeway to Pepper Avenue in Rialto.

Truck size, weight, and route regulations at the State level are discussed after the figure.

2.2.1. Truck Size Limits
Caltrans defines the following combinations as legal when operating on the "designated system." The designated system is a network of highways defined by these criteria:

1. Qualified by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation (National Network or the Interstate System) and

2. Identified by the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) or 35401.5(a) by local authorities as Terminal Access. VC These combinations may leave the designated system at identified signs at points of egress and ingress for access to terminals. VC These combinations may leave the designated system at identified signs at points of egress and ingress, where they may travel one mile to the facilities for food, fuel, lodging and repair.

The California Legal trucks and other truck sizes are defined by the Length Sections 35400-35414, Width Sections 35100-35111, and Height Section 35250 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC).

The legal maximum size of trucks, as truck tractor-semitrailers, in California are "green" trucks that are Interstate STAA type and "black" trucks that are California Legal trucks. Table 2-1 provides the maximum allowed lengths for these two truck tractor-semitrailers types.

2.2.2. Weight Limits
Caltrans has also established standardized maximum vehicle weights across the State of California in CVC Weight Sections 35550 - 35558. The following are the basic rules on maximum vehicle weights:
 Vehicle Combination Weight: 80,000 pounds
 Axle Weight, each single axle: 20,000 pounds
 Axle Group Weight, less than 8'-6" (8-feet-6-inches) between outer axles: 34,000 pounds For other unique configurations where the distance between axles is higher, a weight chart is provided in the CVC for those calculations.

A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is also defined to classify trucks by weight, per Section 350 of the CVC. The GVWR is the manufacturer-specified loaded weight of vehicles, as the maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle or trailer that is loaded, including the base vehicle weight, fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer weight.

Packet Page. 74

Page 8 ends

The categories of these ratings are the following:
 Class 1: <6,000 lb GVWR, light trucks, 2 axles
 Class 2: 6,000 – 10,000 lb GVWR, light trucks, 2 axles  Class 3: 10,000 – 14,000 lb GVWR, medium-duty trucks, 2 axles  Class 4: 14,000 – 16,000 lb GVWR, medium-duty trucks, 2 axles  Class 5: 16,000 – 19,500 lb GVWR, medium-duty trucks, 2 axles  Class 6: 19,500 – 26,000 lb GVWR, light-heavy-duty trucks, 3 axles  Class 7: 26,000 – 33,000 lb GVWR, heavy-duty trucks, 3 axles  Class 8: >33,000 lb GVWR, heavy-duty trucks, 3 or more axles

2.2.3. Establishment of Local Truck Routes
The State of California Vehicle Code, in Division 11, Rules of the Road Section 21000-23336, Article 3, states the following:
“Local authorities, for those highways under their jurisdiction, may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution…Prohibiting the use of particular highways by certain vehicles….”
The California Vehicle Code allows for local definition and control of truck routes on city roadways, in Division 15 (Size, Weight, and Load), Chapter 4, Section 35401.5. The following section provides for truck access on routes identified by “local authorities” or cities, and defines the maximum length of trucks with trailers:
(a) A combination of vehicles consisting of a truck tractor and semitrailer, or of a truck tractor, semitrailer, and trailer, is not subject to the limitations of…[Sections 35400 (special vehicle types and accessories) and 35401 (multiple trailer configurations)…], when operating on the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways or when using those portions of federal-aid primary system highways that have been qualified by the United States Secretary of Transportation for that use, or when using routes appropriately identified by the Department of Transportation or local authorities as provided in subdivision (c) or (d), if all of the following conditions are met:

Packet Page. 75
Regulatory Framework
City of San Bernardino – City-Wide Truck Route Study Page 9 (1) The length of the semitrailer in exclusive combination with a truck tractor does not exceed 48 feet. A semitrailer not more than 53 feet in length shall satisfy this requirement when configured with two or more rear axles, the rearmost of which is located 40 feet or less from the kingpin or when configured with a single axle which is located 38 feet or less from the kingpin.
(2) Neither the length of the semitrailer nor the length of the trailer when simultaneously in combination with a truck tractor exceeds 28 feet 6 inches.

Connections to trucking destinations that are off of designated highways and local roadways are permitted by the following within the same Vehicle Code section, within a one-mile distance when the need for access can be defined in this manner:
(c) Combinations of vehicles operated pursuant to subdivision (a) may also use highways not specified in subdivision (a) that provide reasonable access to terminals and facilities for purposes limited to fuel, food, lodging, and repair when that access is consistent with the safe operation of the combinations of vehicles and when the facility is within one road mile of identified points of ingress and egress to or from highways specified in subdivision (a) for use by those combinations of vehicles.

The following clause defines a process for adding routes to local truck networks, if needed to access new land uses that generate regular truck trips:
(d) The Department of Transportation or local authorities may establish a process whereby access to terminals or services may be applied for upon a route not previously established as an access route. The denial of a request for access to terminals and services shall be only on the basis of safety and an engineering analysis of the proposed access route. If a written request for access has been properly submitted and has not been acted upon within 90 days of receipt by the department or the appropriate local agency, the access shall be deemed automatically approved. Thereafter, the route shall be deemed open for access by all other vehicles of the same type regardless of ownership. In lieu of processing an access application, the Department of Transportation or local authorities with respect to highways under their respective jurisdictions may provide signing, mapping, or a listing of highways as necessary to indicate the use of specific routes as terminal access routes.

A “terminal” is where freight originates, terminates, or is handled, or where a motor carrier maintains operating facilities.

The following clause allows for moving trucks to access residential areas that are outside of the truck routes:
(f) Notwithstanding subdivision (d), the limitations of access specified in that subdivision do not apply to licensed carriers of household goods when directly en route to or from a point of loading or unloading of household goods, if travel on highways other than those specified in subdivision (a) is necessary and incidental to the shipment of the household goods.

2.3 LOCAL REGULATION
The current General Plan has the following policies related to trucking. These are listed in the General Plan under Goal 6.5, which is entitled “Develop a transportation system that reduces conflicts between commercial trucking, private/public transportation, and land uses”:

6.5.1 Provide designated truck routes for use by commercial/industrial trucking that minimize impacts on local traffic and neighborhoods.

6.5.2 Continue to regulate on-street parking of trucks to prevent truck parking on residential streets or in other locations where they are incompatible with adjacent land uses. The use of signs, restricted parking, limited parking times, and the posting of “no overnight” parking signs are mechanisms that can be employed depending upon the specific needs of the affected area.

6.5.3 Prepare neighborhood protection plans for areas of the City where heavy vehicle traffic or parking becomes a significant enforcement problem. (C-2)

6.5.4 Require that on-site loading areas minimize interference of truck loading activities with efficient traffic circulation on adjacent roadways. (LU-1) There are existing Municipal Code provisions that govern the use of trucks or parking of trucks on specific streets within San Bernardino. The Code text establishes limits for these activities on the roadways based on vehicle weight, through the following sections. The primary Code section text is provided, and the locations listed in each section were mapped and are shown on Figure 2-2:

10.24.190 Commercial Vehicles Prohibited on Certain Streets A Pursuant to the authority and restrictions of Vehicle Code Sections 35701 , et seq., no person shall operate or drive any commercial vehicle upon the following streets, and the Traffic Engineer shall cause appropriate signage to be erected giving notice thereof…
B. Pursuant to the authority and restrictions of Vehicle Code Sections 35701 , et seq., no person shall operate or drive any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight Packet Page. 77

City of San Bernardino – City-Wide Truck Route Study Page 11 limit of ten thousand pounds upon the following streets, and the Director of Public Services shall cause appropriate signs to be erected giving notice of such weight limitation prohibition…
C. Pursuant to the authority and restrictions of Vehicle Code Sections 35701, 35703, et seq., no person shall operate or drive any commercial vehicle having a manufacturer's Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) exceeding thirty thousand (30,000) pounds upon the following streets, and the Director of Public Services shall cause appropriate signs to be erected giving notice of such weight limitation prohibition… The following Municipal Code text establishes prohibitions for parking of trucks on public roadways under specific conditions. An exception is defined for trucks involved in construction activities:

10.16.120 Parking of Commercial Vehicles Prohibited on Public Streets and Rights-of-Way; Exceptions
A. No person shall park or stand any commercial vehicle, truck tractor, semitrailer or trailer having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of ten thousand (10,000) pounds or more on any street, alley or parkway in any residential district, or on any residentially zoned property in the city.

B. No person shall park or stand any commercial vehicle, truck tractor, semitrailer or trailer having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of ten thousand (10,000) pounds or more for a continuous period of time in excess of two (2) hours on any street, alley or parkway in any nonresidential district of the city. Each consecutive two (2) hour period shall be considered a separate violation for the purpose of this subsection.

C. The provisions of this section shall not apply to:

1. Any vehicle or trailer component thereof, making pick ups or deliveries of goods, wares or merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted streets and highways, or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted streets or highways for which a building permit has previously been obtained….

CONDITIONS

3.1 ROADWAYS AND LAND USE
The existing land use, as defined by current General Plan analysis efforts, was mapped along with the local roadway network. This provided for the analysis of potential truck routes the consideration of patterns of industrial and commercial land uses that generally require deliveries or shipments of goods and materials by large tractor-trailer trucks. It also provided for an analysis of the framework of primary roadways that provide routes from these land uses to regional highway and freeway travel routes.

Figure 3-1 provides the roadway classifications within the city, with freeways as the highest order of travelway and providing regional access and access to local roadway interchanges. Highways and major arterials link with the freeway interchanges and regional route access points and provide access to all other local roadways. Depending on the trip origin and destination, trucks use various levels of this network to travel between regional destinations and local land uses.

Figure 3-2 provides the existing land uses within the city. The first two categories in the legend were the primary targets for the analysis of land use – commercial (shown in red color) and industrial (shown in a dark grey-blue color). The city truck route network must serve all of these locations that require access by large trucks for daily operations and commerce.

3.2 PAVEMENT CONDITIONS
Pavement conditions data, taken from visual surveys on roadways across the city that were conducted as input to the pavement management system, was mapped by location to create Figure 3-3. The information was compiled from the most recent data compiled for current pavement management actions by the City. The data is summarized as a Pavement Conditions Index (PCI) score.

The PCI value is a standard measurement in civil engineering to rate the condition of roadways. From visual surveys of pavement conditions, roadways are assigned a value within the range of 0 to 100. The value of 100 represents excellent pavement condition. Table 3-1 describes the ranges of PCI scores.

3.3 EXISTING ROADWAY VOLUMES
Roadway daily vehicle volumes were mapped, using data from the General Plan mobility analysis from the year 2021 and from new counts conducted for this study in 2022. The volumes are truck volumes only, without PCE (passenger car equivalency) factoring that is typically done for operations analysis. The volumes are shown on Figure 3-4, by points or segments on the roadways where the counts were conducted, with size indicating the relative volume.

The highest volumes are on University Parkway, near the northern industrial corridors along Cajon Boulevard, on Waterman Avenue at the I-10 interchange and at the northern end of the city on the route to the mountain areas, on Baseline Avenue near the I-215 interchange, on 5th Street in the vicinity of the rail yards, on Mill Street near the I-215 interchange, and in the airport industrial areas on the southeast.

3.4 EXISTING TRUCK TRAVEL PATTERNS
Existing truck trip patterns were analyzed using data from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), a company that compiles information from fleet GPS data. The data is aggregated, anonymized, and is non-customer specific. In order to have data across multiple seasons, to analyze patterns across various times of the year, four time periods of data were acquired. The data attributes included a unique vehicle number, latitude, longitude, and speed.

The time periods of the dataset applied to this analysis were within the months of August 2021, November 2021, February 2022, and May 2022, for a two-week time period within each month. The geographic boundaries of the dataset were defined as a two-mile distance from the City of San Bernardino boundaries. The boundary was extended past the City limits, in order to include patterns within travel corridors that extend outward to other communities or regional connections. The data was used to identify major trucking routes and locations of terminals and other destinations, for the development of the proposed truck routes.

Figure 3-5 provides an illustration of the truck trip data points from one of the data sets, for the month where the level of trucking activity was the highest. Figure 3-6 provides a conglomeration of these data points, analyzing the data by the density of trips and reducing the data down to major sites and corridors.

Two other elements of the analysis of existing truck trips that were applied to this study were a mapping of truck routing patterns provided by trucking mobile apps and in-field truck following. A summary of the analysis of the trucking mobile apps is provided in Appendix B, and a map of routes identified and the locations of terminals on these routes is provided in Appendix C. Results of the field following of trucks over a three-day period is provided on the Appendix D figure. All of these efforts were used to define the proposed truck routes.

Implementation of the proposed truck routes requires posting of route regulatory signs, modification of the Municipal Code, further evaluation of overall roadway and lane widths, further evaluation of turning radius issues and potential improvements, overlap of routes with proposed bicycle facility locations, and neighboring agency coordination. These implementation steps are discussed in the sections below.

4.1 RECOMMENDED TRUCK ROUTES
Based on the analysis of roadway characteristics and trucking activity summarized in Section 3, a set of recommended truck routes within the city was developed, and is provided in Figure 4-1.

Most of the proposed truck route segments connect to regional routes on State Route highways or freeway interchanges, or link into other routes in neighboring cities. Others end at industrial parcels that require access, but do not continue farther into nearby residential areas. A summary table of all recommended truck route segments is provided later in this section.

Figure 4-2 provides a map of the proposed truck routes with the existing land use. The coverage of the truck routes includes all major commercial areas and industrial parcels. Internal road networks within commercial centers and industrial centers were not included, as those roads are generally private and not controlled by the City.

Foothill Boulevard is a State highway and is a designated STAA route from the I-215 freeway to Pepper Avenue in Rialto. The route is not valid in the City of Rialto, as there are no connecting City or STAA truck routes that provide further connections to the south and west of the intersection with Pepper Avenue.

The recommended City of San Bernardino route from the I-215 to Rancho Avenue overlaps partially with the designated STAA route and is valid for local and regional connections.

Figure 4-2 – Proposed Regulatory Truck Routes with Land use Table 4-1 provides a summary of all proposed truck routes with major categories of characteristics for each. Data on pavement quality from the City pavement management system is included, with high and low values across the total segments listed for each row of the table. The curb lane widths are also shown as high and low values across the segment. This width, minus areas permitted for on-street parking, should be 12 feet or wider for truck travel. Dimensions that are less than this are highlighted in blue in the table.

Proposed bicycle facilities from the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) of the City were included in the table, indicating where bicycle facility implementation may be in conflict with truck routes. If bicycle facilities are constructed within on-street parking areas, they would not affect lane widths. Reconfiguration of travel lanes for bicycle projects, however, could create lane widths that are less than 12 feet.

4.2 TURNING RADIUS ANALYSIS
Selected intersections along the proposed truck routes were analyzed for potential truck turning issues.

The analyzed locations are where four-lane roads meet two-lane roads, or where all approaching roadways are two-lane roads. The roadways were selected in this manner to identify potential restrictions in geometry at intersections on these smaller roadways, where trucks would be turning. The identified issues are potential curb overruns, where turning trucks may not have adequate space at corners to turn without going off the pavement or over curbs, based on the turning radius. These locations may have to be evaluated further and potentially improved as part of the implementation of the truck routes.

The truck turning radius analysis drawings are provided in Appendix E.

4.3 TRUCK PARKING POLICY
With the establishment of regulatory truck routes defined by this document, and as adopted under future action by the City, the existing prohibitions on truck travel under San Bernardino Municipal Code section

10.24.190 can be removed from City regulations, or can remain to reinforce the use of the truck route network near these areas.

There is clearly a shortage of legal truck parking where truck travel is heavy and where industrial neighborhoods are present in San Bernardino, and truck drivers are traveling additional miles over city streets to find parking. The findings and observations above imply the need for a two-pronged approach:
 Planning, locating, designating, and signing additional locations where truck parking will be legal and preferred.
 Consistent signage and enforcement where truck parking is a nuisance to neighboring uses and is illegal. Some jurisdictions have specified hours within which truck parking is allowed, or time limits for specific areas.

As part of the first effort, the City could investigate the feasibility of creating paper and downloadable maps of preferred parking locations that could be offered to drivers by warehouse and distribution center operators, and by law enforcement and parking enforcement personnel.

The proposed local truck route network defines permitted truck routes. Other roadways would be prohibited locations for truck travel and parking. The truck parking prohibitions defined under Code section 10.16.120 can continue to be enforced on all roadways, but truck movements to and from onstreet parking, would be prohibited on roadways outside of the regulatory truck network within the city.

The establishment of select truck parking areas may be necessary in the future.

A review of truck parking issues across the industry and within the city is provided in Appendix F.

4.4 MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATES
Existing City truck prohibitions are defined by Municipal Code Section 10.24.190, “Commercial Vehicles Prohibited on Certain Streets. It is recommended that this Code section be amended to include the following two paragraphs:
“The City Council finds that a city-wide truck route study has been completed in full compliance with the requirements of the California Vehicle Code and the recommendations in the study should be implemented. Based upon the review of the study and related information, the city council has identified by resolution those city roadways to become regulatory truck routes, and finds that all trucks within the city shall be operated only on the Packet Page. 98
Implementation

Page 32 ends

truck routes illustrated on the "Approved Truck Routes" map, attached hereto and made a part hereof, when appropriate route signs and end-of-route or no trucks signs (where necessary) are erected along the routes.”
“Pursuant to Vehicle Code §§ 21101 and 35700 et seq., the city council prohibits any commercial vehicle exceeding a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds (five tons) from using any identified city highways or identified CSA roads within a residential area for any duration of the day or from using any identified city highways or identified CSA roads if the use of such highways or roads may adversely affect traffic circulation or safety within a residential area.”
Specific truck travel prohibition signs can continue to be used in areas that may require it, based on City enforcement of the regulatory truck routes and neighborhood needs. This need can be documented in the Code amendment. The City Engineer should be allowed discretion, after implementation of the truck routes, in installing a minimum amount of truck prohibition signs (designated by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices by code R5-2) required to provide adequate notice to truck drivers to instruct them which routes are restricted for trucks use. These signs should continue to be used, or should be erected as new signs, only if the following applies:

1. If trucks are repeatedly using a particular roadway in violation of the truck route policy, by cutting through a residential neighborhood when an alternate route on a designated truck route is available.

2. If repeated travel by trucks on a roadway has resulted in trucks becoming stuck or causing roadway or property damage due to inadequate roadway widths, tight turning radii, a lower tree canopy, or an excessive street grade.

3. If truck travel is prominent on roadways determined by the City to be inappropriate for truck traffic, based on adjoining land uses and/or the local nature of the roadway.

4. If the level of truck traffic on a roadway is consistently and noticeably higher than what would be typical for a facility of that classification.

City of San Bernardino – City-Wide Truck Route Study Page 33

4.5 AGENCY COORDINATION AND

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Letters can be provided by the City of San Bernardino to the neighboring city managers, public works directors, and city engineers to provide notice on the planned truck route network. A review period can be provided before final City Council approval of the study and recommended truck routes. The recommended truck route network, however, has been developed to match the truck routes of adjacent cities on the same roadways that cross between jurisdictions. The City of San Bernardino will not recommend or adopt truck routes that would send traffic into a neighboring city without the presence of a continuing truck route past the City boundary.

California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA) Section 15301(c), permits categorical exemptions from CEQA for actions such as the regulatory truck routes. Adoption of a citywide truck route ordinance to amend existing sections with specified streets is exempt, as the truck routes formalize existing patterns of trucking activity, matching the use of the existing roadways currently used by trucks. No new segments of roads have been identified for truck routes that are not currently used by trucks, or are not currently one of multiple alternate and primary routes to an industrial or commercial parcel. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed truck routes would not change the distribution of truck traffic compared to existing conditions.

In addition, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15301, the recommended Code amendments are categorically exempt from CEQA, in that they relate to the operation of public streets and expansion of use would not occur.

ANALYSIS OF TRUCK ROUTING MOBILE APPS
Packet Page. 117
Truck Routing Apps Review
Background
Navigation, parking, and other apps designed specifically for truckers have become increasingly common in recent years, although they are still far from universally used.

Most auto drivers are familiar with Google Maps, Apple Maps, or the directions offered by various GPS systems and services. Drivers use these apps or systems to obtain directions to unfamiliar locations, find the quickest route during peak periods, and estimate driving and arrival times.

Not surprisingly, a number of routing apps are available to truck drivers, and are used in the same ways. Drivers serving repeat customers or those on delivery routes would seldom need an app for directions, but might use an app to choose between routes or avoid slow‐downs due to accidents or work zones. Long‐haul drivers unfamiliar with the area or with specific customer locations would be much more dependent on these apps.

Many of these apps are also designed to help truckers find parking, as truck parking has been a significant issue for some time. According to a 2019 ATRI study, 57% of truck drivers reported using a parking app in the past year. The percentage was higher among younger drivers, with 67% of those under 45 reporting using one within the past year (notably, these statistics dealt specifically with truck parking apps, though many apps serve multiple functions). The disparity between older and younger drivers may not simply be due to younger drivers being more up with current technology. Older drivers may already have knowledge of parking and routing from their experience and not need apps, according to the study. More up‐to‐date statistics are not available, but usage will likely increase as new, younger drivers enter the industry and the apps themselves improve. One can speculate that these percentages have only increased since then.

Accordingly, the consultant team investigated these apps and tested them on sample routes in San Bernardino to determine:
 Whether the apps could successfully navigate the highways and streets serving San Bernardino’s commercial and industrial areas.
 Whether the apps suggested sensible routes consistent with the team’s route recommendations.
 How the City might eventually inform app sponsors of designated truck routes.

Major Truck Routing Apps
With this many truckers using apps and with their use becoming more prevalent among the next generation of truckers for multiple reasons, ensuring that data regarding truck routes, parking locations, restrictions, and other necessary information is correct and up‐to‐date is essential. Fortunately, drivers themselves may help. All of these apps are subject to reviews and rating from drivers and trucking companies that use them. These reviews are available on the app store sites (Apple and Android are, of course, the two main app stores). Analyzing the reviews can help weed out apps that give incorrect or unreliable information, as truckers are less likely to use them if they see negative reviews. For example, the National Association of Truck Stop Owners launched an app called Park My Truck in 2016 designed to help truckers find parking. The app claimed reliable data on parking at truck stops reported by truck stop operators themselves. However, a quick search of the app on Apple’s store reveals that, of the very few truckers who actually used this app (only two reviews show up), it was poorly reviewed. One driver’s negative review states that the reliability of data was compromised as truck stop owners over reported parking availability to lure truckers to their businesses. The app now seems to be essentially defunct, as new data for the truck stops listed seems to have not been reported in years.

What reviews of apps strongly suggest is that drivers mostly trust other drivers for information; many reviews suggest that they do not trust “official” sources. Drivers also logically prefer apps that serve multiple functions all‐in‐one. They do not want to have to switch back and forth from different apps, so an app that relies on data from other truckers and provides information on routing, parking, weight stations, and other things truckers must know about would theoretically be the most successful.

TruckerPath, which brands itself as “built for truckers, by truckers,” is a possible candidate for an all‐in‐one app. and is by far the most popular trucking app, claiming over a million regular users. TruckerPath gets exceptional reviews, with a 4.7/5 average rating on the app store and over 81,000 reviews. Although the app requires a paid subscription to access full truck routes (including restrictions due to length, height, weight, etc. – routes for trucks, not cars, in other words), it provides much of the information truckers would need all in one stop, including parking, truck stops, weight stations, routing, and amenities along the road.

Other trucking apps exist and are fairly widely used, though. Another popular and well‐ reviewed app is TruckMap, which includes much of the same information that TruckerPath provides. TruckMap app also finds loads for drivers along their routes. If a driver searches a route between two points, the app will automatically suggest loads that trucker could pick up along the route. This app does not require a paid subscription to use, and claims to have full data on routes for trucks, not cars (though it does not say in the app store where it gets this data from, unlike TruckerPath, which specifies that it gets it from users).

There are also some less‐used competitors to these main apps available. The website truckersreport.com, which finds trucking jobs and provides other resources for truckers, has used data that they presumably obtained from truckers to start an app called Hammer, which is Packet Page. 119
also free to use. This is a very new app launched in 2021, but it has gained quite positive reviews on the app store from a healthy 9,400 ratings as of this writing.

The app Trucker Tools is designed to be another all‐in‐one stop for truckers (and operators). It allows them to book loads, and then find routes for these loads, with relevant information (including truck stops, weight stations, etc. provided along the way. This app was one of the first in its field when it was launched in 2010). However now it only has 1,300 app store ratings and was the worst reviewed of the ones examined here.

Testing Truck Routing Apps in San Bernardino
These section analyzes routes that commonly used apps for getting to and between a selection of major trucking destinations in San Bernardino. The apps used were Trucker Path, Hammer, TruckMap, and Trucker Tools, which were compared to Google Maps results for cars.

In general, and as shown in the figures that follow, the apps provided reasonable routing suggestions using major thoroughfares that could become components of San Bernardino’s truck route system. For most trips to San Bernardino DCs from outside locations, the apps suggested using freeways to the nearest exit and then a short trip over arterial streets.

Outbound trips suggestions tended to be the reverse: choosing a short route to the nearest freeways entrance. Only cross‐town trips tended to have greater use of surface streets, as expected. In this respect, the team’s findings suggest that the highest priority for truck routes would be preferred paths to and from freeways ramps.

In practical tests in San Bernardino, Trucker Path, which is by far the most commonly used and well‐reviewed app specifically for truckers, was the simplest to use (aside from Google Maps).

It includes truck routes, but these are only accessible to paid subscribers (Trucker Path only uses car directions for free users, making it similar to Google Maps). This could be problematic, as truckers who want to save some money could conceivably end up using a version that does not include truck restrictions and ending up on restricted routes (although they do have TruckMap and Hammer as free options).

Hammer claims to be the only truly free app for truckers, with no paid subscription requirement. However, the sign‐up process does go to great lengths to verify that the user signing up is, in fact, a trucker, and one must register with an account and consent to receiving marketing emails. The service also stated upon signing up that a representative may reach out to verify that the user is, in fact, a trucker, although no representative reached out to the consultant team upon signing up for the purpose of conducting this study. Regardless, the app seems intent on making sure than non‐truckers do not use it, for reasons that are unclear and unexplained.

The trucking‐specific apps allow the user to change the truck settings (height, weight, length, etc.) so as to get the most relevant route restrictions, and they also allow the user to set preferences for things such as avoiding tight turns, choosing the most direct route vs. the Packet Page. 120
fastest one, etc. For the purposes of this study, the default settings for each app were used in order to control variables. These were generally for a loaded, 53’ semi‐truck and trailer that would typically be used for long‐haul trucking or transporting domestic containers (ocean‐going containers are 20’‐45’.

Screenshots of what each app suggested for various routes are included below. Although some of these searches were also done again at different times of day to account for different traffic conditions, these searches did not turn up different results. Also, Trucker Tools would not allow the user to change the origin location for directions, demanding that the user’s current location be used. As such, all routes for Trucker Tools originate from Highland Park, Los Angeles, rather than the sample origin described.

Long Beach to Pep Boys DC
As shown in Figure 1, the apps suggest using Tippecanoe north from I‐10.

Figure 1: Port of Long Beach to PEP Boys DC
No results for the DC turned up in a search on TruckMap or Trucker Tools, so they are not included here as presumably the apps could not find this location. Notably, Hammer and TruckerPath both automatically found a truck entrance to the DC, whereas Google Maps did not (as it is not designed to).

TruckerPath Google Maps Hammer

Port of Long Beach to Amazon ONT2
The apps again generally used Tippecanoe north from I‐10 (Figure 2), with the differences largely due to the DC entrance assumed. This may be a critical point, as truck entrances are often different from the “official” street address.

Figure 2: Port of Long Beach to Amazon ONT2

TruckMap once again did not turn up any results in a search for ONT2. Google Maps again did not automatically find a truck entrance, and Hammer suggested an out‐of‐the‐way route that takes the driver to a part of the airport just above ONT2 rather than the truck entrance. A trucker would have to search a more specific address to get correct directions. Note that each of the apps found a different route.

Port of Long Beach to Family Dollar Distribution Center Most apps used N State St north from SR 210 (Figure 3). Note that Trucker Path is the only trucking‐specific app to offer multiple route choices here (and that these choices are different from Google Maps), but that it seems to consider this DC to be a Dollar Tree location (it found it with a simple search though).

All trucking specific apps show the same route for this trip (although Trucker Tools shows a different freeway into town due to coming from Highland Park), but Google Maps shows a route up Rancho Ave, which could be concerning if that road is restricted (Figure 5). Trucker Path, TruckMap, and Hammer all found an accurate, viable entrance to the facility, whereas Trucker Tools suggests a route down a narrow residential street (though it ultimately leads to the correct entrance, this is not logical or what is used by trucks seen in field work).

As Figure 6 indicates, TruckerPath and Google Maps use Tippecanoe for the freeway connection, while the cross‐town segment between Mattel and BNSF uses surface streets.

Figure 6: Port of Long Beach to Mattel DC to BNSF Yard
TruckerPath: Google Maps:

Packet Page. 127
TruckMap, Hammer, and Trucker Tools all failed to find the Mattel DC in a search (Trucker Tools also does not allow for multi‐destination route planning). TruckerPath suggested a slightly different route than Google Maps, though both routes did appear to have a high number of trucks during fieldwork.

Port of Long Beach to Mattel DC to Family Dollar DC
In this example, TruckerPath and Google Maps suggest similar routes (Figure 7), taking the driver across town on surface streets.

Figure 7: Port of Long Beach to Mattel DC to Family Dollar DC Family Dollar DC to BNSF Yard
This example is notable in that the truck‐specific apps directed the driver to the freeway while Google Maps suggested surface streets (Figure 8).

TruckerPath: Google Maps:

Figure 8: Family Dollar DC to BNSF Yard
Though the desktop version of Hammer could find the Family Dollar DC in an earlier search, when it came time for this search the iPhone app could not find it. TruckerPath once again suggests multiple route options. Trucker Tools does not allow for this search. All apps found the proper truck entrance.

Kohl’s DC to BNSF Yard
In this case as well, the truck apps suggested using a short section of freeway while Google Maps used surface streets (Figure 9).

TruckerPath: Google Maps: TruckMap:

Figure 9: Kohl’s DC to BNSF Yard
Once again, the Hammer phone app could not find the Kohl’s DC (inconsistent with the desktop version once again). All three other apps found different routes (TruckerPath once again had multiple options). Trucker Tools does not allow for this search.

Amazon ONT2 to BNSF Yard
From the Amazon Fulfillment Center to the BNSF yard Trucker Path offered options, Google Maps used surface streets, and TruckMap suggested a short stretch of freeway (Figure 10).

TruckerPath: Google Maps: TruckMap:

TruckerPath suggested multiple options again, while TruckMap only had one longer option and Hammer suggested a strangely out‐of‐the‐way route, once again failing to find the actual accurate location of ONT2.

The last example shows the same suggested routes from the three major apps (Figure 11), but very different results from the others. Trucker Path and Trucker Tools found routes without a problem (though slightly different ones), while TruckMap came up with a wrong location for ONT5, just down the road from where it is actually located. Hammer placed ONT5 around the summit of Mt. Baldy for reasons unclear.

These examples seem to demonstrate why truckers seem to generally prefer TruckerPath and rate it highly: it was the most consistent trucking‐specific app in terms of delivering results for TruckerPath: Google Maps: TruckMap:

Packet Page. 133
all of these locations. TruckerPath also had the best functionality of any app designed specifically for truckers, and automatically found truck entrances for many of these locations (although a few were inaccurate). TruckerPath describes itself as “for truckers by trucker” which suggests that the data is crowd‐sourced from truckers themselves, though it is unclear if this applies to routing and mapping data or just to information on parking and truck stops.

Nonetheless, widespread use of TruckerPath suggests that truckers value getting their information from other truckers and trust this above other information sources, at least in principle.

TruckMap was second to Trucker Path in terms of overall use and ratings on the app store, but as shown here, it was not as reliable as TruckerPath in navigating San Bernardino. TruckMap also had worse functionality and was sometimes difficult to use. It requires drivers to find truck entrances on the map themselves, although this is probably preferable to automatically directing truckers to wrong entrances.

Trucker Tools also was fairly reliable in terms of finding routes, but had probably the worst functionality of any of the trucker‐specific apps for the purposes of these. It does allow for multi‐destination planning, but was very restrictive in allowing for searches from different locations at different times (although truckers using it for simple directions from their current location would likely find it sufficient).

Hammer is not as well‐used as the others. In the tests conducted it frequently came up with incorrect routing and often failed to find locations (or found wrong locations), making it probably the least reliable in these tests. Notably though, it is a very new app, and reviews seem to have improved slightly since the teams first tests were conducted. Some of the routes it suggested could be very misleading to a driver, especially an inexperienced driver unfamiliar with the area, which is concerning.

However, it is important to note that of all these apps, Google Maps had the best functionality and was the easiest to use, finding all these locations instantly and accurately after a very simple search. Although it did not find truck entrances as Trucker Path did, it often still found the location despite misspelling or only partially typing in the name, and it gave multiple route options, rail crossing information, and the most up‐to‐date traffic information. Unlike Trucker Path, it is also free to use. As such, it could be understandable that a frustrated trucker would simply choose Google Maps and risk ending up on a restricted road (though there does not seem to be data that suggests whether a significant number of truckers do this or not, and truckers overwhelmingly do not recommend Google Maps for truck directions in online trucking forums, so it seems unlikely that many truckers are actually doing this). Some of these alternate route options it suggests could be restricted for trucks, and it does not allow the user to change as many settings as Trucker Path (or the other truck specific apps).

Most drivers should be able to avoid the worst of the bad directions these apps have provided, figuring out that Hammer’s route to ONT 2 does not make sense, for example. Issues could arise, however, from unfamiliarity or bad decision making under time pressure. A driver Packet Page. 134
unfamiliar with the area or inexperienced could also be mislead down a bad route, but wind up in an undesirable area or one that is difficult to exit before they realize their mistake (or the app’s mistake). As such, making sure these apps have accurate data remains important.

App Data Sources
Given the current and growing popularity of these truck route apps, it would be to the advantage of both the City and the trucking industry to have these developments reflected in routing apps. Accordingly, the consultant team began investigating where and how routing apps obtain data.

Where these apps get up‐to‐date data on truck routes and restrictions has not yet been established. An attempt to reach out to the apps listed above and ask where they obtain their data resulted in only one response to date, from Hammer. This response stated, however, that the app gets its data from Here Technologies, a large company that specializes in creating online maps for a wide variety of customers, including providing location services for Amazon, large automotive manufacturers, and many others. Here Technologies gets mapping data from a large network of camera vehicles, in other words, sending vehicles out onto roads to film street signs, restrictions, etc. and then using what they document to provide updated mapping.

TRUCK PARKING ISSUES REVIEW
Packet Page. 147
Tioga 1
Truck Parking Needs
Truck parking is a nationwide problem. For many municipalities and their residents, truck parking issues can be as significant as truck routing issues. Complaints about trucks parked in residential and commercial areas or along rural roads can be common.

Commercial trucks and their drivers need to park for multiple reasons:
 Making pickups and deliveries.
 Waiting for customer pickup or delivery appointments, between assignments, or while communicating with customers or dispatchers.
 Off-duty hours when trucks are not in use, typically during off-duty hours (e.g. night) or between shifts.
 Mandated rests specified in federal and state Hours of Service (HOS) rules.  Meal and restroom breaks.

Shortfalls in legal parking options will result in illegal parking. Likewise, a parking space shortfall in preferred areas such as industrial districts will result in truck parking in non-preferred areas. Difficulty finding parking will increase truck movements and vehicle miles through the city.

Pickups and Deliveries
Many delivery and pickup customers do not have sufficient private property space for off-street truck parking.

Lack of off-street space is particularly common for store-front businesses, older commercial areas, multi-story commercial developments, and multi-family residential areas. In these areas, trucks stopped at the curb, doubleparked, blocking driveways, and in red zones are common. Designated loading zones are, as a rule inadequate, and are frequently occupied by other users. In many instances, the driver simply has no legal parking option to make the pickup or delivery.

While the parking difficulties or ordinary delivery trucks such as “box trucks” serving restaurants and stores and UPS or FedEx trucks outside office buildings are familiar, the problem escalates with larger trucks, including:
 Large box trucks or semis serving retailers or restaurants.  Semis delivering office furniture, equipment, etc.
 Construction vehicles and building material deliveries.

These operations typically involve the use of fork lifts, pallet jacks, or other delivery means requiring more space and time. In our field work, Tioga noticed trucks parking in the street or in medians for this purpose.

Waiting for Appointments
Drivers delivering to or picking up from major truck trip generators such as manufacturing plants and distribution centers are commonly given appointment windows within which they must arrive. Drivers arriving too early may be turned away; drivers arriving too late may be turned away and a penalty assessed against their company.

Accordingly, drivers make every effort to meet appointment windows. That usually means arriving early and waiting nearby, often for more than an hour. Long-haul drivers with early appointments may arrive the night before and sleep in their tractor nearby. It is common to see long-haul trucks parked on the street, near freeway Packet Page. 148
Tioga 2
interchanges, or in unused portions of commercial business parking lots (e.g. the back portions of shopping mall lots) in and near warehouse clusters.

Off-Duty Parking
When commercial trucks are not being used they are typically parked in one of four locations:
 On company property.
 On street near company property.
 On leased space nearby.
 At or near the driver’s home.

Where company lots are small and space is expensive, as in most urban areas, truck parking tends to spill out onto public streets. Truck operators may make arrangements for parking with nearby landowners, typically on vacant lots or unused business property. Some truck operators will use nearby space, particularly vacant lots, without permission.

Owner-operators, owners of small businesses (e.g. contractors, tree services), and contract or franchise drivers typically park their trucks or tractors at or near their homes. This practice is common in unincorporated areas or in outlying areas with large lot sizes such as Muscoy. Drivers who live in apartments or condos typically park their tractors or trucks somewhere nearby.

Mandated Rest
Federal and state Hours of Service (HOS) rules apply to commercial drivers (CDL holders) that drive more than 100 miles from their operating base. As a practical matter, the HOS rules affect drivers of long-distance Class 7 and 8 semis, including those making trips between San Bernardino and the LA Basin or the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The key HOS rules are:
 Drivers are limited to 11 hours of driving in a 15-hour period after 10 consecutive hours of rest.  Must take a 30-minute non-driving break after 8 hours of driving.  May not drive after 60 hours on-duty in 7 days, or 80 hours in 8 days without at least 34 hours off-duty.

In previous years these and similar early requirements were enforced by reviewing driver log books. Drivers had some flexibility in choosing when to stop, such as driving an extra 10 minutes to find a legal parking place. Not surprisingly, some drivers and firms falsified logs.

Since 2019, HOS rules have been enforced using Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) connected to the truck’s electronic system. ELDs have zero tolerance for HOS violations, so drivers must now find parking and shut down the engine within the HOS limits or face large fines and points on their CDL.

As a result of the stricter HOS rules enforcement, drivers must sometimes find acceptable parking on very short notice. Parking fines are usually less than the consequences of HOS violations, so drivers caught in a dilemma will park illegally. Once stopped, it would be an HOS violation to start the engine and move the truck before the end of the mandated rest.

Packet Page. 149
Tioga 3
Meal and Restroom Breaks
The truck cab is the driver’s workplace, but it lacks a breakroom or restroom. Drivers may have mandated breaks, but also have the ordinary needs of people in the workplace. Few truck parking locations have trash cans, and virtually none have restrooms. Some customers allow drivers to use company restrooms, as do fast food restaurants.

Truck Parking Options
Truckers needing to park for any of the reasons discussed above have only a few options. Generally speaking, customers do not allow parking on their property when not actually loading or unloading. Short-term “pay lots” for trucks do not exist.

Truck stops offer parking, but cater primarily to long-haul drivers seeking overnight rest. The larger truck stops that offer overnight parking are clustered around the junction of I-10 and I-15, west of San Bernardino. The closest truck stop to San Bernardino with significant parking is the Royal Truck Stop on East Steel Road in Colton. Truck stops are thus not a viable option for short breaks or waiting for appointments. Some also charge for parking.

Drivers often use the more distant, underused parts of shopping mall parking lots, public park lots, and other “opportunity” sites for short term parking.

There are on-line services such as SecurSpace that list local parking sites, but those sites are typically for rentals rather than hourly or daily parking.

The result is that public streets are usually the only option.

Truck Parking Apps
For the purposes of this report, the consultant team searched for truck parking within the City of San Bernardino using multipurpose trucking apps and parking-specific apps. Many of the apps used for truck routing also provide information on truck parking (at least ostensibly). Other apps dedicated specifically to truck parking exist in addition to Trucker Path, Trucker Tools, TruckMap, and Hammer. While some of these are well-used and respected, others are largely unused with poor reviews, and some are not professionally designed. Park My Truck, an app designed by the National Association of Truck Stop Owners, for example, is little used by truckers and has very few ratings on Apple’s app store (what ratings do exist are negative and the parking data looks as if it has not been updated in several years, suggested the app is essentially defunct). The apps also frequently turned up results for truck stops and other parking in nearby Colton or Redlands that are not included here as they are not within the San Bernardino city limits.

Trucker Path remains a main app source for truck parking information, and allows users to search parking in a given area. This information is presumably crowd-sourced from truckers themselves. Trucker Path has not replied to multiple attempts by the consultant team to contact them regarding where they obtain their data, but the parking locations shown in the app included updated data on space availability at the location, which appears to be reported by truckers themselves. Despite this, the app only found limited truck parking locations in San Bernardino; the image below shows the locations the app found in a simple search for parking (Figure 1):

Packet Page. 150
Tioga 4
Figure 1: Trucker Path San Bernardino Parking
Locations shown in green (of which only one was actually within the San Bernardino city limits) are those where ample available parking has recently been reported. Many other locations shown in gray either stated that truck parking is not allowed or do not have recent data on available parking spaces. Akal Cargo Inc (the one location shown in green) turned up gray when searched the next day as the most recently reported data were more than one day old at that point. Nonetheless, the app allows truckers to see if parking is available, with availability forecasts included for paying subscription members. It also provides satellite images, and reviews of the parking location. The screenshots below show both the description of the location and the satellite image (Figure 2).

Trucker Path also shows the San Bernardino Walmart and the San Bernardino Neighborhood Market Store as truck parking locations, yet states that truck parking is not allowed at either location, though availability was reported at Walmart only two days earlier (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Trucker Path Parking Locations in Detail
Other locations within the San Bernardino City Limits are shown below, with the app stating that street parking for trucks is authorized on Mill St and on South Doolittle St (Figure 4):

Packet Page. 152
Tioga 6
Figure 4: Trucker Path Street Parking Locations
Trucker Tools and TruckMap turned up almost no results for parking; Trucker Tools could not find any parking in San Bernardino in a search, while TruckMap only found the San Bernardino Walmart mentioned earlier. Hammer also only found the Walmart, making all of these apps largely unhelpful in finding parking.

Though these are the main apps used by truckers, other less-used apps do suggest a few other parking locations.

Jack Reports is an app for truckers dedicated to finding weigh stations and truck parking, which states that it is “powered by artificial intelligence and a community of truck drivers.” In a search of San Bernardino, however, it only turned up one potential parking location in the Northwest corner of the city. Information and a satellite image of the location from the app are shown below (Figure 5):

Packet Page. 153
Tioga 7
Figure 5: Jack Reports Parking Location
The last parking app included in this search is Park My Rig, an app designed by LeRoy Clemmer, who has previously written a book of the same title intended to be “a comprehensive catalog of both traditional truck stops and alternative truck parking locations”. The app is designed to provide the same information as the book for truckers who prefer an electronic version. Though the app does not seem particularly well-used, it does suggest some interested parking locations with descriptions, images of which are shown below including the Walmart (Figure 6).

Packet Page. 154
Tioga 8
Figure 6: Park My Rig Parking Locations
Truck Parking Sites
Some online sites are designed to help truckers (whether drivers or operators) book truck parking in advance if they are able to plan ahead for where they want to park. By far the leading site for this is SecurSpace, which allows Packet Page. 155
Tioga 9
for advance booking of various types of truck parking (for tractors, trailers, containers, or a combination of these) on either a daily or monthly basis. In the team’s searches for parking on SecurSpace in San Bernardino, availability varied widely depending on the date, but the results found were geared towards reserved container or chassis parking rather than truck parking for driver breaks or other purposes. The results for searches on a variety of dates throughout spring 2023 are provided in the images in Attachment X-A.

In many cases where easy parking was not available near a destination (including warehouses and delivery locations), trucks were parked in center lanes. Some select locations where the team spotted trucks parked in onstreet parking areas are shown in Attachment X-B.

Examples of Truck Parking Locations
Where trucks are actually parked (whether legally or not) remains a different matter from where these apps have suggested parking. Perhaps due to difficulty in finding good parking spots, the consultant team found through field work in the city that trucks are often parked in areas where truck parking is either unideal or specifically prohibited; it is unclear whether many of these trucks are parked long- or short-term. A selection of locations where the team found trucks actually parked with corresponding photographs are shown in Attachment X-C.

NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino does hereby resolve, determine, find, and orders as follows:

SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

As the decision-making body for the project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission finds, as follows:
(1) The environmental impacts of this project are considered categorically exemptfrom CEQA for actions such as regulating truck routes. Adoption of this resolution to add citywide truck routes is exempt, as the truck routes formalize existing patterns of trucking activity, matching the use of the existing roadways currently used by trucks. No new road segments have been identified for truck routes that are not currently used by trucks or are not currently one of multiple alternate and primary routes to an industrial or commercial parcel. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed truck routes would not change the distribution of truck traffic compared to existing conditions. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15301, the recommended Code amendments are categorically exempt from CEQA in that they relate to operation of public streets and do not propose an expansion of use of the public street; and
(2) The application of the categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (Exceptions); and (3) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgement of the Planning Commission.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT:
(1) Pursuant to Development Code Section 19.50.050, an amendment to the General Plan may be adopted only if all of the following findings are made:

Finding 1. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan.

Packet Page. 184
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-051 – PC
4 Finding of Fact: The proposed General Plan Amendment adds a truck route map to the Circulation Element as required by AB98. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan.

Finding 2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

SECTION 3. FINDINGS FOR MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT:

The Planning Commission finds that the proposed Municipal Code Amendment is necessary to implement the proposed General Plan Amendment to add truck routes to the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The proposed Amendment would make the Municipal Code consistent with the most recent General Plan and would enable the enforcement of the truck routes.

SECTION 4. FINDINGS FOR AB98 WAREHOUSE DESIGN AND BUILD STANDARDS:

The Planning Commission finds that AB 98 requires cities to comply with a variety of standards related to logistics facilities. The Community Development Director will issue a memorandum to implement these standards. This action further memorializes that the City is committed to implementing these standards as required by AB98 as included in Chapter 2.8 Warehouse Design and Build Standards including sections 65098, 65098.1, 65098.1.5, 65098.2, 65098.2.5, 65098.2.7, 65098.3, 65098.4, 65098.5, 65098.6, 65098.7, 65098.8, and 65098.9 and as otherwise required by AB98; and

The City of San Bernardino has taken steps to manage truck traffic and designate appropriate truck routes within its jurisdiction in accordance with the California Vehicle Code. Through the adoption of City Ordinance Section 10.24.190, titled Commercial Vehicles Prohibited on Certain Streets, the City formally established restrictions on heavy vehicle access to specific roadways. The ordinance also directs the installation of appropriate signage to clearly identify these prohibitions and applicable weight limits along the designated streets, ensuring compliance and promoting roadway safety.

The City commissioned a truck route study, published in 2023, that recommends a truck route network that balances the needs of supporting the goods movement economy while minimizing adverse impacts to residential communities and public spaces within the City. Several factors were considered in the development of this network, including roadway classification, pavement condition, truck travel patterns tracked via mobile app data, and land use.

RE: City of San Bernardino Circulation Element

Dear Mr. Velarde,
The California Trucking Association (CTA) is the nation’s largest statewide trucking association and has been proudly representing the trucking industry in California since 1934. The City of San Bernardino (City) has been, and continues to be, a critical logistics hub for the state—underscoring the importance of appropriate and viable truck routes.

The Counties of San Bernardino and Riverside are major logistics hubs supporting commerce transported to and from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as well as through the state and the rest of North America. Collectively the San Bernardino and Riverside metropolitan areas boast over 383,000 employees in the logistics, transportation and material moving sectors.

CTA appreciates the opportunity to provide input on the City of San Bernardino’s proposed truck routes map. Many of our member companies operate their vehicles within the City delivering and picking up goods. CTA recommends the City takes into consideration two key principles while considering the adoption of the proposed truck routes:
1) Collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions to ensure truck routes consistently align 2) Accommodation of 53-foot semitrailers for commercial motor vehicles accessing retail, commercial and industrial locations for pickup and delivery To support the continued success of the trucking industry in the City of San Bernardino, it is critical that the City’s truck route map aligns with those of neighboring jurisdictions. For example, several proposed routes in the draft map cross into adjacent areas, including the City of Colton to the south and the community of Muscoy to the west. It is essential that the City of San Bernardino collaborate with their neighboring jurisdictions to designate their respective portions of these shared routes consistently to ensure route continuity for commercial drivers. If the City of San Bernardino does not coordinate their designated truck routes with surrounding cities, serious logistical issues may arise.

Packet Page. 196
Furthermore, it is imperative that designated “City Truck Routes” include accommodations for 53-foot semitrailers servicing retail, commercial, and industrial centers within the City. California Vehicle Code 35703 prohibits a city or county from adopting an ordinance that “… shall prohibit any commercial vehicles coming from an unrestricted street having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has previously been obtained.”
Without proper access for 53-foot semitrailers, goods movement will be restricted, limiting the efficiency of logistics operations and the City would be in violation of state law. In example, the City has mixed retail, commercial and industrial property along Interstate 215 extending from University Parkway to Palm Avenue. It is reasonable to assume the proposed “City Truck Routes” should consider accommodating 53-foot semitrailers that will undoubtedly travel along the local routes for making pick up and deliveries.

CTA appreciates the City of San Bernardino’s commitment to engaging with stakeholders during the development of its truck route network. Collaboration with the industry is vital to ensure that truck routes avoid sensitive receptors while preserving economic viability. This balance is key to positioning the City for responsible and sustainable growth. We look forward to continuing to engage with City officials throughout the process of finalizing this truck route plan.

Sincerely,
Nick Chiappe

Introduction
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption (NOE) may be filed if the City of San Bernardino, in its capacity as the lead agency, determines that a proposed action or project is exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA.

According to the CEQA Guidelines, a NOE must contain the following:

Class 1 Exemption (Existing Facilities)
The Community Development Department – Planning Division of the City of San Bernardino has reviewed the proposed Project and has determined that it is categorically exempt as California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA), Section 15301(c), permits categorical exemptions from CEQA for actions such as regulating truck routes. Adoption of Resolution No. 25-XXX to add citywide truck routes is exempt, as the truck routes formalize existing patterns of trucking activity, matching the use of the existing roadways currently used by trucks. No new road segments have been identified for truck routes that are not currently used by trucks or are not currently one of multiple alternate and primary routes to an industrial or commercial parcel. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed truck routes would not change the distribution of truck traffic compared to existing conditions. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15301, the recommended Code amendments are categorically exempt from CEQA in that they relate to operation of public streets and do not propose an expansion of use of the public street (Attachment J).

Subject: Maddy Act Local Appointment List
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution No. 2025-395 approving the Local Appointment List (Maddy Act).

Executive Summary

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: December 3, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: City Manager’s Office
Subject: Proposed 2026 Mayor & City Council Regular Meeting Schedule (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt the Proposed 2026 Mayor and City Council Regular Meeting Schedule.

Executive Summary
Every year, the City Council adopts a Mayor and City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for the following year that is consistent with San Bernardino Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 2.58.010 and modifications from prior years. The Proposed 2026 Mayor and City Council Regular Meeting Schedule recommends modifications, which include canceling the January 7, 2026, Mayor and City Council meeting.

Background
Section 2.58.010 of the SBMC stipulates that the Mayor and City Council meetings are to be held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Section 2.58.080 of the SBMC further states that in the event the date of a regular meeting falls on a City holiday, regular meetings will be held on the next business day following the holiday, except as determined by the City Council.

Discussion
The Mayor and City Council meeting schedule will align with the SBMC and the 2026 City-recognized holidays. Staff are proposing modifications to the 2026 Mayor and City Council Regular Meeting Schedule that are consistent with the modifications adopted for the 2025 Regular Mayor and City Council Meeting Schedule. The proposed modification is to cancel the January 7, 2026 Meeting. Staff have not identified any other conflicts with regular meeting dates due to observed holidays, commonly attended conferences or meetings.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the Proposed 2026 Mayor and City Council Regular Meeting Schedule.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt the Proposed 2026 Mayor and City Council Regular Meeting Schedule.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: December 3 , 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gabriel Elliott, Director of Community Development and Housing Michael Rosales, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Event Fee Waiver for YMCA Annual Christmas Parade Located at 808 E. 21ST Street (APN:0147-031-12), Within the Public Park (PP) zone (Ward 2)
Recommendation:

City Manager's Comments
The fee waiver for the Parade is consistent with the waiver that was provided in 2024.

The fee waiver helps this important community event continue in San Bernardino.

Executive Summary
Your local YMCA is requesting a waiver of fees associated with permits issued by the City of San Bernardino Community Development and Housing Department. The fees are imposed by the Public Works, Police Department, and Parks and Recreation for the annual YMCA Christmas Parade commencing on December 13, 2025. The starting location will be at 808 E. 21st Street, heading west along E. 21st Street, to north on Valencia Avenue up to east on E. Highland Avenue; and back south to the ending location of 808 E. 21st Street (APN:0147-031-12) within the Public Parks (PP) zone.

Background
Chapter 3.13 of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code regulates the Request for a Waiver or a Refund. Chapter 3.13 states where a charitable non-profit organization, corporation, foundation or religious institution or affiliate thereof, that meets the criteria stated in the Section, submits an application to any department of the city for a permit waiver or reimbursement, the procedures in the Chapter shall govern. This would be the second year the YMCA has asked for a fee waiver due to rising cost to host such an event.

Packet Page. 245
The YMCA of the East Valley is an association of people of all ages, ethnic groups, and religious affiliations founded on religious principles and dedicated to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities through programs that develop spirit, mind, and body. This would be the 48th annual YMCA parade and is a part of the City of San Bernardino tradition for the community. The parade will feature the Mayor of the City of San Bernardino as the parade marshal, marching bands from local schools, local car clubs, and dance groups.

Discussion
The YMCA Christmas Parade will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The event will start at 808 E. 21st Street, heading west along E. 21st Street, to north on Valencia Avenue, up to east on E. Highland Avenue, and back south to the ending location of 808 E. 21st Street (APN:0147-031-12) within the Public Parks (PP) zone. Set-up for the event will start at 8:30 a.m. on December 13, 2025, with time allotted after the parade end (12:00 noon) for cleanup. Following immediately after the parade, there will be a Winter fun event at the YMCA location of 808 E. 21st Street, commencing from 12 noon until deemed complete.

Associated fees with this event are as follows:
• Special Event Fee: $1279.20
• Public Work Fee: $1737.79
• Park and Rec Fee: $2150.00
• Police Department Fee: $8,300.00 (7AM-2PM)
Total $13,466.99
City of San Bernardino Staff involvement includes the Traffic Division coordination of setting up barricades at the deemed approved locations for parade crossing, erecting signage throughout the parade route, and assisting the Police Department with traffic control when necessary, whilst 16 (sixteen) Police Officers will assist in traffic control, oversight of any barricades, and will deem the parade complete. The event coordinators have hired security for the event and will have volunteers running the event operations. The City of San Bernardino Mayor is the marshal of the parade. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving a fee waiver would be providing City support for a non-profit business that’s bringing a community event to the people of the City of San Bernardino, this aligns with Goal No. 2: Focused Aligned Leadership and Unified Community.

Fiscal Impact
Waiving the event permit fees will reduce permit revenue from the General Fund in the amount to total of $13,466.99, however it is keeping with a tradition that has brought comradery to the City of San Bernardino for the last 48 years.

Packet Page. 246
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve an Event Fee waiver for the annual YMCA Christmas Parade starting and ending location at 808 E. 21ST Street (APN:0147-031-12) on December 13, 2025.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: Economic Development
Subject: Authorization to Proceed with Street Vacation of a Portion of Victoria Ave also known as San Manuel Blvd (Ward 4)
Recommendation:

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval.

Executive Summary
A petition to vacate a portion of Victoria Ave. was received on September 10, 2025, from Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. If authorization is given to proceed, an investigation and analysis will begin and all City departments, County Fire, utilities, and affected property owners will be notified of the proposal and will be provided an opportunity to comment on any conflicts and/or potential issues or concerns.

Background
Streets and Highways Code (SHC) section 8312, gives a city legislative body the power to vacate all or part of an alley and sets forth the procedures by which the power to vacate may be executed. The requested street vacation would be conducted under the General Vacation Procedures outlined in SHC sections 8320 through 8325. First, a legislative body may initiate proceedings either on its own initiative or upon a petition or request of an interested person or persons. The initiation of proceedings starts with fixing the date, hour, and place of the hearing, followed by publishing and posting of notices prior to the hearing. After the hearing, if the legislative body finds that the street described in the notice of hearing or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street. The street vacation is then recorded with the County Recorder’s office.

Packet Page. 269

• Public Hearing and Resolution of Vacation pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 8324
• Recordation of the Resolution of Vacation pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 8325
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The applicant has paid $1,020 in fees.
