• Abstract:
  This report documents a study of truck parking issues along the major freight corridors in the 10-state MVFC region. An online GIS instrument was developed to administer surveys and allow for continuous public participation. The study surveyed highway patrol officers, public freight planners and truckers to identify parking facilities incommensurate with truck parking needs. It proposes a method to cluster marked spots for identifying areas with the most need for additional truck parking capacity. In-person carrier interviews were also conducted to further clarify truck parking problem causes and solutions. A set of low cost strategies are finally proposed to policy makers. This study also inventories both public and private parking facilities along the region’s freight corridors and provides a review of previous studies
