Transportation Permits are issued for extra sized legal loads. The dimensions for legal loads are 14' high or less, 8'6" wide or less and 65' in length or less. Anything over these dimensions requires a transportation permit.

Transportation Permits are needed to ensure oversized loads are routed properly through the City. Oversized loads may also require pilot cars to ensure the public is aware of their presence.
