Richardson Grove Study Group in Humboldt County. This group consists of representatives from various governmental and non-governmental stakeholder groups. One major issue in our region is the lack of access to Humboldt County for Federal standard Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) trucks. As STAA trucks become the national standard, areas that do not have access for these trucks are at an economic disadvantage because they must reload cargo to shorter trucks which adds to transportation costs. The group is taking a comprehensive approach to explore options for permitting STAA truck access to the North Coast.
