Trucking Lab
Idaho Truck Parking Study Data

Idaho 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.

I-84 carries the shortage

Planning material identifies unmet demand in multiple I-84 corridor segments, including near Boise, Mountain Home, and Twin Falls. Supply spans rest areas, ports of entry, private truck stops, and Oasis sites funded through public-private partnerships.

Small facilities dominate the inventory

  • More than 55% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 21% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $19.30 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 1,997 hexagons:

  • 97 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
  • 62 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 Idaho inventory
  • Shortage and utilization context
  • Clear corridor and project logic
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

Idaho shortages sit on specific I-84 segments, not across the state. A generic statewide summary loses to a competitor who names the segment and sizes the gap.

What you get

Base Idaho data

  • Parking inventory by location
  • Public and private classification
  • Truck-space counts and amenities
  • Planning-use screening

Proposal-ready outputs

  • GIS-ready dataset
  • Hotspot and corridor context
  • Draft-ready charts and figures
  • Executive summary language

Deeper analysis

  • Truck parking demand model

  • EV truck-charging suitability

Built for consulting teams

  • Freight plan teams
  • DOT truck parking study teams
  • MPO and corridor study teams
  • Grant and infrastructure advisers

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 Idaho?

Trucking Lab includes 2,460 private truck parking spaces across 73 locations and 371 public spaces across 15 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Idaho planning material points to the I-84 corridor near Boise, Mountain Home, and Twin Falls.

What is the main truck parking issue in Idaho?

Corridor-specific unmet demand along I-84, where several segments need additional capacity despite a relatively modest statewide inventory.

Why do truck parking counts differ across sources?

Counts differ because datasets apply different facility definitions and inclusion rules. Public totals provide statewide context, while Trucking Lab numbers focus on usable parking supply.
