Trucks Off Our Steets (TOOS)
Fighting for safe streets and clean air in every Detroit neighborhood.
The Trucks Off Our Streets (TOOS) Table is a citywide coalition of community organizations working to reduce residential truck traffic and improve air quality across Detroit. Founded in the summer of 2024 with a grant from the Fred and Barbara Erb Family Foundation, TOOS connects residents, community leaders, and city decision-makers to share resources, raise awareness, and take action. We are united in our push for a citywide truck route ordinance, employing collective power to lead public education efforts, coordinate community engagement, and mobilize to attend permit hearings. Together, we mobilize for safer streets and cleaner air throughout Detroit.
Trucks do not belong on residential streets.
Learn about our work to implement a Truck Route Ordinance (TRO)
A Truck Route Ordinance (TRO) is a local law that designates specific roads within a city or municipality as permissible routes for commercial trucks. By directing heavy traffic to designated routes, a TRO protects neighborhood air quality, reduces noise and safety risks, and preserves our roads.
Detroit residents deserve access to real-time data about truck traffic and air pollution.
