Trucking Lab
Connecticut Truck Parking Study Data

Connecticut truck parking data for stronger DOT proposals

Get verified inventory, shortage screening, corridor context, and proposal-ready outputs without rebuilding the analysis from scratch.

Why it matters: Better parking evidence makes unmet demand and investment priorities easier to defend.

Night pressure concentrates on three corridors

I-95, I-84, and I-91 carry Connecticut’s main parking pressure, with high overnight utilization at Darien and Southington and recurring undesignated parking.

Small facilities dominate the inventory

  • More than 52% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 25% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $25 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 141 hexagons:

  • 9 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
  • 27 demand grids: modeled demand exists without an official parking location.

Why this matters in a competitive DOT proposal

Typical approach

  • Unscreened facility lists
  • No distinction between usable and incidental parking
  • Weak connection to the proposal narrative
  • Limited support for investment prioritization

With Trucking Lab

  • Planning-ready Connecticut inventory
  • Shortage and overnight utilization context
  • Clear interstate corridor logic
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

Your proposal should show where pressure is building, why existing supply falls short, and where investment should go next.

Reality check

Counts differ across sources because inclusion rules differ. Public totals and Trucking Lab numbers are complementary — one gives statewide context, the other gives usable supply.

Common questions

How many truck parking spaces are in Connecticut?

Trucking Lab includes 894 private spaces across 23 locations and 534 public spaces across 21 locations.

Where are the main pressure areas?

I-95, I-84, and I-91 are the main pressure corridors, including Darien and Southington.

What is the main parking issue?

High overnight utilization, corridor gaps, and recurring undesignated parking place pressure on a limited network.

Why do parking totals differ?

Sources apply different inclusion rules. Public totals provide statewide context, while Trucking Lab focuses on usable supply.
