The Minnesota Interstate Truck Parking Study was undertaken to help Mn/DOT develop the information necessary to support decisions regarding future approaches to the truck parking issues in Minnesota. The issues examined by the study effort include determining what the state's role should be in the provision of truck parking; which provisions of long term truck parking will provide the greatest support to the state's economy, and what actions will provide the greatest impact on traffic safety, while taking maximum advantage of effective technology and available federal programs.
The Minnesota Interstate Truck Parking Study examined the supply and demand of public and private commercial vehicle parking along Minnesota’s three primary interstate corridors: I-90, I-35, and I-94. The study was conducted through three primary tasks: 1) An inventory of Minnesota's Interstate Truck Parking Supply; 2) Truck Parking Demand Analysis; 3) Survey Results of Trucking Company Practices and Attitudes Regarding Truck Parking.
