The city is expanding its public food truck program to provide more on-street locations for food trucks to operate in commercial districts throughout the city. Through a process managed by the Department of City Planning, individuals may apply to request that existing on-street parking in or near commercial districts is designated for food trucks during certain times and days of the week. Under the new program, applications for new food truck areas will be reviewed to determine if the proposed location meets all criteria and requirements for food truck parking designation. Information on how to request that existing on-street parking is designated for food trucks and how to apply for a permit to operate within the city’s public right-of-way is available at atlantaga.gov/vending
