Washington city considers loosening food truck restrictions

December 15, 2017

Puyallupp, Washington's city council continues to seek input on a proposal to modify food truck regulations, according to The News Tribune. The proposal was submitted by the Washington State Food Truck Association.

The proposed pilot program would allow food trucks to park on public streets, not just on private property.

The current regulations are stifling the ability of food trucks to come to Puyallup, said Lori Johnson, executive director of the Washington State Food Truck Association.

In addition to changing geographical restrictions, the proposed change would eliminate background checks, allow trucks to exceed time limits during operations and reduce penalties for violations.
