TRUCK PARKING AND SERVICES FACILITY AT PORT OF OAKLAND
Oakland Maritime Support Services (OMSS) is a truck parking and services facility for the 8,000+ trucks moving to and from the Port of Oakland on a daily basis. OMSS is currently modernizing, expanding, and relocating our existing facility to the full 16-acre parcel at the former Oakland Army Base, further reducing the impact of truck activity in the West Oakland community. The new OMSS Center will be a one-stop service destination for trucks at the Port of Oakland, providing auto and truck fueling stations, parking, container storage, truck scales, trans-load facility, a convenience market, restaurant food court, office space, and other services. The OMSS Center will be a "green" state-of-the-art trucking services facility showcasing clean energy alternatives including a biodiesel fueling station.
REDUCING POLLUTION IN WEST OAKLAND
OMSS is fulfilling the West Oakland Community Action Plan to decrease pollution from diesel trucks by centralizing truck parking and services in one location and thus reducing truck idling and trips.
