MAFC has completed a Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) Regional Truck Parking Inventory project for the MAASTO Motor Carriers Committee and the Standing Committee on Highway Transport examining and mapping truck parking availability, parking amenities, and lot information. The report summarizes public parking for over size over weight (OSOW) and standard trucks on major freight corridors in the ten state region, and includes information on availability of parking that allows for OSOW transitions at state lines. Along with the region’s efforts in Truck Parking Information Management Systems (TPIMS) and overall efforts by the states to efficiently address an increasing need for parking, the OSOW Support for MAASTO SCOHT and MCC report represents another step toward MAASTO States work to provide safe and sufficient truck parking.
