Trucks Don’t Belong On Residential Streets
A Truck Route Ordinance (TRO) is a local law that identifies which roads within a city or municipality are designated for commercial truck traffic. These designations are intended to help direct heavy vehicles away from residential areas in order to improve air quality, reduce noise and safety concerns, and maintain roadway conditions.

About the TOOS Coalition

The Trucks Off Our Streets (TOOS) Coalition is a citywide group working to reduce residential truck traffic and improve air quality across Detroit. Formed in summer 2024 with support from the Fred and Barbara Erb Family Foundation, TOOS works in partnership with Community Action Plan for Healthy Environments through the University of Michigan to connect residents, community organizations, and city leaders from all seven Detroit districts.

TOOS is united in advancing citywide truck route solutions by empowering residents and partners to hold decision-makers accountable for existing environmental and public health policies. Coalition members collectively reach over 35,000 Detroit residents, conduct community-led truck counts and industrial monitoring rooted in decades of resident science, mobilize community participation in public processes such as permit hearings, and educate stakeholders about the health impacts of truck traffic and industrial pollution, including fugitive dust.
