Auto-generated summary
Chicago's booming ecommerce and warehouse sectors have outpaced the city's ability to enforce truck operation prohibitions, despite authorization from the Illinois Vehicle Code. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning predicts a 48% increase in truck-shipped freight by 2040. To combat this, the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, Department of Transportation, Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, and Department of Finance are considering an automated enforcement pilot program, utilizing automated enforcement systems, to reduce violations and ensure public safety. The pilot program will expire two years after its implementation.
