Disconnect on Paid Truck Parking According to New Study

Results of a recent American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) survey among professional truck drivers exploring Commercial Driver Perspectives on truck parking  — notably the use of private versus public rest stops, preferred locations for reserved parking, and the value of reserved truck parking – has revealed a distinctive disconnect.  

With more than 1,400 surveys collected,  an analysis of the data revealed several findings, including:

• Nearly half of commercial vehicle drivers surveyed would refuse to pay for reserved parking;
• Reservation parking systems near large metropolitan areas would have the highest utility; and
• A disconnect exists between drivers’ interest in parking reservation systems and their willingness to pay for parking reservations.
