It is nationally recognized that commercial motor vehicle operators frequently cannot find adequate, safe parking for rest purposes. Many state departments of transportation are experiencing a heavy demand for commercial vehicle parking at rest areas, one that exceeds capacity. These rest areas are intended for short-term safety breaks; however, there continues to be a need for longer-term parking services in high-use corridors. Private truck stops often provide facilities that allow drivers to use them for longer-term stays to obtain adequate rest. For many of these private truck stops, demand also exceeds capacity. The purpose of this synthesis is to assist transportation agency administrators in identifying those practices that have been used to manage the increasing demand for commercial motor vehicle parking. The emphasis is on identifying successful and innovative strategies that have been implemented by transportation agencies as well as potential strategies that have yet to be deployed.
