Kansas Truck Parking Study Data
Kansas 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
Half the network hits 90% at peak
State material identifies heavy demand on I-35, I-70, and US 169, with about half of locations exceeding 90% capacity at peak. Pressure peaks around 3 to 4 a.m., and illegal parking has been reported in places such as Finney County.
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 $16.00 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,779 hexagons:
- 151 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 144 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 Kansas?
Trucking Lab includes 5,075 private truck parking spaces across 170 locations and 513 public spaces across 41 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
Kansas planning material points to I-35, I-70, US 169, and areas such as Finney County.
What is the main truck parking issue in Kansas?
Severe peak-hour crowding on the key corridors, with high utilization, recurring illegal parking, and a need for targeted facility expansion.
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.
