2024-05-07 - Truck Route Study

The City of Ukiah seeks proposals from qualified consulting firms for a Truck Route Study aimed at optimizing transit corridors within Ukiah. This study will define optimal truck routes, aligning with the City's commitment to multimodal transportation. Challenges posed by inadequate freeway overpasses, particularly those under Caltrans, will be addressed. The study aims to align multimodal design principles with the practical needs of large trucks using Ukiah as a bypass. Working collaboratively, the selected consultant will identify specific routes, aiming to integrate them into popular navigation GPS services like Google and Apple. The study's end goal is a comprehensive report delineating the most efficient and City Council-supported truck routes through Ukiah. The project is funded by the Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG) and is the total expected project cost. The project has an estimated cost of $45,000. No additional funding has been sought from other sources.
