Long Beach is inviting residents to share their thoughts on how the city should regulate food truck operations through its Food Truck Survey. From now until April 2, residents can give their perspectives on the frequency, locations and operational regulations they think food trucks should abide by. 

The Food Truck Survey differs from the previously distributed Sidewalk Vendor Survey, which was launched in 2022. 

Long Beach will attempt to support “food truck entrepreneurial opportunities” while addressing the “needs and concerns” of residents, business owners, food truck operators and “other key stakeholders,” according to a press release from the city. 

The survey is broken up into three sections: perspective on food trucks, frequency and location of food trucks and demographics of the survey-taker. Questions center around the benefits and concerns of food trucks in Long Beach, where and when residents see food trucks most often, where food trucks should be limited or encouraged, and if the existence of a food truck has ever discouraged the surveyee from dining at a restaurant. 

Surveys can be taken online at longbeach.gov/foodtrucks through a smartphone or computer. Those without access to a phone or computer can take the survey at Long Beach Public Library branches through their computer labs or pick up a paper survey. 

Online and paper surveys are available in English, Spanish, Khmer and Tagalog. 

Survey results will inform new citywide regulations on food truck operations and are expected to be presented to the city council in the coming months. 

For updates on the food truck and sidewalk vendor policies, residents can complete the online interest form or visit longbeach.gov/foodtrucks.
