Benefits of Food TrucksJob Benefits
Every 20 trucks permitted would create an estimated 100 jobs (40 full-time jobs & 60 part-time jobs).
Thus, 100 additional permits would eventually create 500 full- and part-time jobs.
SBA: Small businesses create more than half of the private non-farm gross domestic product, and they create 60 to 80 percent of the net new jobs nationally

Food Sales were the largest source of sales tax revenue for the City in 2011.
