Truck Weights Survey |
1.
In 2023, the Georgia General Assembly passed HB 189, which increased the allowable weight limit to 88,000 lbs. by increasing the variance from 5% to 10% for vehicles hauling certain agricultural products outside the metro Atlanta area. It also gave local law enforcement the ability to enforce weight limits by allowing county law enforcement. Most of the requirements of this legislation will sunset (terminate) July 1, 2025. ACCG needs to collect data on how the increase in truck weights have impacted roads and bridges, safety, and comprehensive planning for your county. Your county has been specially selected to participate in this survey based on your county's location or previously raised concerns regarding increased truck weights. Please complete this survey by Friday, November 15, 2024.
