Florida Truck Parking Study Data
Florida 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.

Public parking spaces
Peak demand exceeds 150%
Florida’s strongest parking pressure is concentrated around Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Lakeland, where metropolitan demand and corridor spillover drive unauthorized parking.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 52% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 26% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $24.40 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,268 hexagons:
- 100 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 188 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

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 Florida?
Trucking Lab includes 8,457 private spaces across 287 locations and 3,105 public spaces across 86 locations.
Where are the main pressure areas?
Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Lakeland, and major interstate corridors are the leading pressure areas.
How severe is peak demand?
Demand exceeds 150% in some metropolitan and corridor areas during peak periods.
Why do parking totals differ?
Sources apply different inclusion rules. Public totals provide statewide context, while Trucking Lab focuses on usable supply.
