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.
Idaho parking, at a glance
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

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.
