Abstract:The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) determined the need to assess truck loading and unloading zones in order to make parking available, affordable and convenient for commercial vehicles in the City. This project involved the determination of general parking statistics on loading zones which utilized Howard University undergraduate and graduate students to collect field data under the leadership of Faculty. The data compiled during field observations were used to provide the characteristics of 17 loading zones in three areas was the principal objective of the study. The areas were in the Adams Morgan, Central Business District and Southwest Capitol Hill. This report represents summary statistics of parking activities including truck type usage, duration of usage, accumulation, turnover rates and incidences of double parking at the loading zones. The average duration of the trucks using the loading zones in all the three areas was 30 minutes with accumulation of almost 100% during weekdays. There were incidences of double parking at some of the locations and turnover rates ranged from 0 to 5.5 vehicles per space per hour.
