Oregon Commercial Truck Parking Study

Kickoff Oct 2018

• Movement of goods through and in Oregon is vital to

the state’s economy

• Much of the truck freight moves along the I-5 and I-

84 corridors

• Truck drivers in Oregon often cannot find adequate

and safe parking for rest purposes

• The economic recovery , driver hour-of-service

regulations and the electronic logging device rule have recently contributed to the rising demand

• The problem is expected to get worse as truck freight

is forecast to increase about 70% (tonnage) by 2035

Objecti tives o

• f th

f the Study

• Measure current and future (2040) truck parking demand
• n the major highways
• Identify current and future truck parking supply,

legitimate truck parking locations and ad-hoc/illegal parking locations (primarily rest areas and truck stops)

• Identify locations where current and future demand for

truck parking exceeds supply

• Identify opportunities to provide strategic enhancements

to truck parking (e.g. technology, signage, or additional parking locations, etc.)

Development o

• f t

the T Truck ck P Parking Study

• American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) data will be used to determine

route info and where and when trucks stop for rest periods

• 24-hour and 48-hour video sessions will be conducted at selected rest areas to

ground-truth the ATRI data

• A stakeholder survey will be conducted to assess user opinions regarding truck

parking at rest areas and private truck stops in the study corridors
