why we urge you to support the fight Against heavy Trucks on I-580
Our platform is dedicated to informing and mobilizing East Bay residents, and to advocate for maintaining the truck ban. We want to keep the truck ban to help preserve and protect our communities and travel corridors. These corridors are essential to maintaining safe routes to our schools, health care facilities, emergency services and local businesses. The current truck ban keeps heavy trucks off of I-580 and Highway 13 and most of our neighborhood streets and connecting corridors.
