Truck parking shortages are a national safety concern. Commercial truck drivers need access to safe, secure, and accessible truck parking. With the projected growth of truck traffic, the demand for truck parking will continue to outpace the supply of public and private parking facilities and will only exacerbate the truck parking problems experienced in many regions.
An inadequate supply of truck parking spaces can result in negative consequences. Tired truck drivers may continue to drive because they have difficulty finding a place to park for rest. Truck drivers may choose to park at unsafe locations, such as on the shoulder of the road, exit ramps, or vacant lots, if they are unable to locate official, available parking.
Numerous public, private, academic and non-profit studies have been completed on the adequacy of truck parking, and these studies have some common findings including an expected growth in truck activity, severe shortages of parking for trucks, lack of information on truck parking opportunities, and challenges due to limited delivery windows and specific rest requirements. The links below provide information to the authorized programs and activities that support truck parking, as well as the reports, surveys and historical information for truck parking.
The Truck Parking Development Handbook presents resources for development of truck parking, including factors that influence parking need, quantitative approaches for estimating truck parking demand, design of truck parking facilities, truck parking safety and security, and facility siting to protect community quality of life. The Handbook serves as a resource for planners, engineers, local officials, State departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, economic development organizations, and other entities involved in freight and land use planning.
The National Coalition on Truck Parking brings together stakeholders from the public sector, transportation organizations, the freight industry, and other groups to advance safe truck parking. In fall 2017, the National Coalition on Truck Parking held its annual meeting to showcase cross-cutting truck parking initiatives from States and introduce the National Coalition on Truck Parking Working Groups. The purpose of the working groups is to share best practices and create products to disseminate information on truck parking issues related to priorities identified during regional meetings in 2016. The working groups are a deliverable of the National Coalition on Truck Parking.
Jason's Law helps advance a more comprehensive set of programs, efforts, and research to improve truck parking and provide States and MPOs with resources to identify parking needs and to encourage improvements and investments.
As of Jan. 1, 2019, all trucks serving our international container terminals must have an active RFID tag and have a 2007 (or newer) engine, or a certified equivalent emission control system. Your RFID must be updated with your current driver information, VIN, company name, SCAC and license plate information.
*** When entering the terminals, please make sure you have only one RFID tag in your truck. If you have more than one tag, you could be subject to a red light and be turned away at the gate.***

Mark Sturdevant of Warner Truck Centers talks about maintaining trucks and other important information for members of the Northwest drayage community at the Clean Truck Program Summer Workshop in 2018.
In 2008, the ports of Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., adopted the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy to continuously reduce port-related diesel and greenhouse gas emissions. To reach these goals, the ports and industry have already invested in and adopted new equipment and fuels that reduce emissions from cargo-handling equipment, rail, harbor craft, ships and trucks.
The Clean Truck Program is one of several initiatives the NWSA and ports of Seattle and Tacoma have undertaken to improve air quality and greenhouse gas impacts of our gateway. In the last decade, we have invested more than $15 million in matching grant funds to spur truck conversion and invest in gate infrastructure. More than 410 trucks were scrapped and replaced with new trucks due to federal, state and local money.
Whether you are new to truck systems or have years of experience, this three-day course will help you understand their special dynamic behavior by merging the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics and the details of truck components and properties.
Participants will receive a 60-day trial of TruckSim, a software tool for simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of medium to heavy trucks, buses, and articulated vehicles. You will have ample opportunity to explore the software before, during, and after the course.
