Title
Joint resolution authorizing an agreement with Oxcart Permits Systems, LLC (Oxcart), Palatine, Illinois, for collection of truck permit fees required for all overweight and over-dimensioned truck trips in accordance with the Illinois Vehicle Code.
Staff Summary
* In the State of Illinois, truck permits are required for all overweight and over-dimensioned truck trips in accordance with the Illinois Vehicle Code issued by each roadway jurisdiction where applicable.
* Lake County, along with six Chicago area counties and the City of Chicago, sought assistance from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to develop a coordinated effort to streamline the truck permitting process to improve the economic vitality of the region through improved government collaboration.
* With the CMAP request being a long-term solution, Lake County has an opportunity to assist trucking companies locally through local government collaboration and the use of Oxcart's web-based solution.
* Oxcart's service will provide the convenience of allowing trucking companies 24 hour, seven days a week access to apply for permits and make payments.
* McHenry, Livingston, and Boone Counties, and the Villages of Barrington, Barrington Hills, Deerfield, Fox River Grove, Vernon Hills, Wheeling, and Winthrop Harbor currently use Oxcart. Will and DuPage Counties plan to begin using Oxcart later in 2018. Oxcart will charge the fees required by Lake County, in addition to a service fee, to the applicant with no cost to Lake County.
* Oxcart fees collected for truck permits will be submitted monthly to the Lake County Division of Transportation.
