The letter from the American Trucking Associations' Law Enforcement Advisory Board addresses the shortage of commercial truck parking and the federal grant funding opportunities available under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to address this safety issue. 

The trucking industry and its law enforcement partners are committed to improving highway safety and appreciate your attention to this important matter.

Project Description:

This project has three components: 1) The Airline Highway North Expansion will improve a five-mile segment of U.S. Route 190 by adding a lane in each direction, improving turn lanes, and adding connections to local transit, bike and pedestrian networks; 2) The Florida Boulevard component will make pedestrian and bus improvements, and establishes BRT infrastructure along approximately six miles of Business U.S. Route 90. 3) The Scotlandville Parkway Mobility Network will convert an existing trail to a new, linear, multimodal pathway for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will convene state, industry, and federal leaders at a meeting of the National Coalition of Truck Parking to share resources available in the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to address the nation’s truck parking shortage, which puts all road users at risk and is costing truck drivers time and money. At the meeting, DOT will share a new handbook for States that details strategies for developing truck parking and best practices on designing and constructing new truck parking. Officials will also discuss the new and expanded funding resources that are eligible for truck parking projects to make the United States’ freight system safer and more efficient. This meeting builds on the commitments of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Trucking Action Plan, focused on creating a stable and safe trucking workforce that offers good-paying jobs to millions of truck drivers.
