About American Truck Parking
American Truck ParkingTM is dedicated to providing truck parking space availability information to truckers hauling freight throughout the United States. Each day truckers face a multitude of challenges navigating our nation’s highways to deliver the goods and services that drive the U.S. economy. American Truck ParkingTM was developed to help truckers locate parking spaces, with a simple, easy-to-use interface designed for quick access to the information truckers need most to park. Our site shows truck parking locations including private truck stops, logistics terminals, public rest areas, along with truck fueling locations for both conventional diesel and alternative fuels. Amenities are listed on a details page for each location in addition to directions along with parking availability and reservations at select locations.
American Truck ParkingTM shows dynamic parking availability for a few select locations as part of a broader truck parking availability demonstration effort. You can see recent historical parking availability at locations that report information using different forms of innovative sensing. Our site was built as part of a broader collective effort from forward-thinking projects sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The goal of these projects are to improve the availability and accessibility of truck parking information to the public. The development of American Truck ParkingTM was funded through the FHWA as a research-deployment effort. It is led by the UC Berkeley Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
As you use this site, we welcome questions, comments, and feedback about the site, including performance and usability, which can be directed to Elliot Martin of UC Berkeley (elliot@berkeley.edu).
