Abstract:Locating truck parking facilities is becoming more difficult for truck operators. The operator must contend with the competition for spots, allow for personnel rest needs, maintain hours of service compliance, and ensure safety in their operations. Various studies have shown that truck parking demand often exceeds the available supply of valid parking locations. These problems escalate further with the parking of oversize and overweight trucks, which require larger space, better access, and acceptable pavement. The purpose of this project is to develop a Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) state-by-state and regional inventory of available public truck and oversize and overweight (OSOW) truck parking sites. Importantly, parking locations near or at state lines are of very high relevance since such locations provide a holding area for OSOW loads that must wait for daylight to enter the state, or when an agency requires local authorities to provide an escort. The inventory includes public truck parking facilities: in-state parking areas, state-line parking within the MAASTO region, and state-line facilities that serve non-MAASTO states. The MAASTO Subcommittee on Highway Transport (SCOHT) and representatives of the Motor Carrier Committee (MCC) provided data, oversight, and concurrence on the identified parking locations. This effort supports collaboration across the MAASTO states, the development of multi-state corridors, and provides for increased safety of truck drivers and the traveling public.
