According to the FDOT Statewide Truck Parking Study, truck parking facilities in and around the US 27 corridor operate beyond capacity. Figure 10 identifies truck parking capacity as a need throughout the Heartland region. The limited availability of truck parking spaces creates overcrowding and unsafe conditions for all roadway users. This increase in truck parking demand further illustrates the prevalence of freight activity in the corridor and creates an opportunity to address truck parking supply and access while exploring alternative truck routes.
