A bill that would give a significant funding boost for projects aimed at expanding access to truck parking nationwide appears stuck in the Senate.

As a government funding deadline looms, congressional leaders are expected to schedule consideration of a fiscal 2026 transportation bill that includes $200 million for truck parking.

Started in 2022, Truck Parking Club has a goal of establishing 10,000 new truck parking lots in 2026, an increase from the approximately 3,800 it now has in operation across 49 states. 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune urges lawmakers to focus on long-term funding, a move that could preclude another shutdown by dispelling a recent habit of extending short-term measures.

The 2025 ATRI Top Industry Issues report, released Oct. 26, found that the economy was the top concern among industry stakeholders for the third year in a row.

A truck parking expansion project being fast-tracked for completion by the fall of 2027 will add 100 spaces to an existing parking facility in Polk County at the Polk Parkway and I-4 interchange.

PennDOT staff and state police closely collaborated to find state-owned sites that could be turned quickly and cost-effectively into new truck parking areas.

Outpost’s parking and terminal network currently comprises 25 facilities that offer parking, office space, crossdocking, maintenance facilities and warehouse space.

Officials said the expansion will help manage growth in cargo operations at JFK, where volume reached 1.67 million tons in 2024 — a 25% increase since 2019.

Insufficient truck parking is resulting in $100 billion yearly in lost productivity, according to a new report issued by the Truck Parking Club.
