Transportation Permit (Oversize Load)

An oversized load permit is required to transport large or unusually sized vehicles, equipment, or loads through the City of Upland when the vehicle or load exceeds standard legal limits.

Permits are necessary to help the City maintain public safety and coordinate transportation activities throughout the community. The permit process allows the City to:

  • Identify the type and size of load being transported in the event of an emergency.
  • Evaluate and mitigate potential traffic impacts.
  • Coordinate with City departments and personnel as necessary.
  • Allow City inspectors to follow up when required.
  • Identify potential restrictions or limitations along the proposed travel route.

Travel routes may be subject to restrictions due to road construction, schools, special events, traffic conditions, or other activities occurring within the City.
