Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Program
Summary
Big rigs keep using streets that aren't built for them, tearing up pavement and annoying residents near routes like Van Buren, Alessandro, Main Street and La Sierra. Fines turned out to be a weak deterrent — the real stick is DMV points that threaten commercial drivers' licenses and jobs.

Impact analysis
Heavy trucks damage city roads that are already expensive to repair, and the abandoned administrative-citation plan would have added vendor and collection costs.
Residents living along restricted truck routes get quieter, safer streets and roads that last longer.
Out-of-town commercial drivers face points on their licenses, higher insurance, and possible license suspension if they keep using restricted routes.
