PURPOSEThe primary purpose of truck routes in Danville is to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of large or heavy loads while protecting city infrastructure and minimizing disruptions to traffic and public safety. Designated routes help manage wear on roads, reduce the risk of damage to utilities and traffic systems, and prevent heavy vehicles from entering restricted or sensitive areas. By requiring prior approval and holding transporters accountable, the city promotes responsible logistics and safeguards community assets.SUMMARYIn Danville, Illinois, truck routes are regulated through a permit system designed for overweight and over width load movements. To obtain a permit, applicants must submit complete and accurate information about their company, load type, dimensions, travel date, and the exact route to be used within city limits. The city requires carriers to carry appropriate insurance and assumes full responsibility for any infrastructure damage caused during the move. Permits are valid for seven (7) days and must be approved before any transport begins. Applications are submitted via fax or email, and the City of Danville carefully evaluates each proposed route for safety and structural integrity.APPLICATION FOR OVER WEIGHT/OVER WIDTHA Danville permit is required to travel on the city maintained truck routes with an over weight and/or over width load. City routes are marked with blue in this map. The application can be completed and submitted online.SUPPLEMENTALThe Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) also maintains a truck route application. For additional information and resources, visit IDOT's Designated Truck Routes app.

Who maintains the streets in Danville?This map displays streets within the city corporate limit, and city-owned streets extending past the limit. Most of the streets within the city limit are owned and maintained by the City. But there are a few that are owned by the State of Illinois, or privately owned by various agencies or neighborhoods.The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is responsible for IL Route 1, US Route 136 and 150, and Interstate 74. Along these routes the City provides only pothole filling assistance, and is not responsible for their upkeep or reconstruction.Private streets are maintained by many types of agencies, none of which receive assistance from the City. These agencies acquire their own funding and resources for street repairs.City street repairs and rehabilitation are funded from several sources. One of the primary funding sources is Motor Fuel Tax (MFT). MFT is a tax on the privilege of operating motor vehicles upon public highways and operating recreational watercraft upon the waters of Illinois. The tax is based on the consumption (purchase) of motor fuel. MFT funds can be used to construct and maintain roads, traffic controls, street lighting, storm sewers, sidewalks and other pedestrian paths, off-street parking facilities and much more.These funds ensure that municipalities are able to provide for the public health, safety and welfare of their community through a stable infrastructure.

Tax increment financing, or TIF, is an economic development and revitalization tool available to Illinois municipalities through an act of the Illinois State Legislature known as the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4). TIF is designed to remove blight and encourage private investment into areas that would otherwise not see new investment.

New businesses mean more jobs, more customers, and, in turn, more private investment.

TIF designation also helps retain existing businesses that might otherwise find more attractive options elsewhere. The jobs and additional investment — private and public — means more money for the community.

TIF also helps to overcome the extraordinary costs that often prevent development and private investment from occurring on environmentally contaminated properties, and it is also used where infrastructure is inadequate to meet the needs of development.

How does the TIF Work?

Every Private/public investment within a TIF district leads to an increase in property values. The resulting increase in property tax revenue is collected and is reinvested within the district. These funds can help finance private building improvements that otherwise might not receive any attention. The TIF incentive model is designed to work with property owners to create a public/private partnership in these districts. The general idea being that the more the district improves the more property values will increase. This will increase revenue in the TIF fund which, in turn, will be used for further District improvements.

City of Danville currently maintains 5 TIF districts. You can find more information on City of Danville’s TIF district Incentives, application process at the City Website.
