Kentucky Truck Parking Study Data
Kentucky 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
1,700 spaces short statewide
State planning material identifies a deficit of roughly 1,700 truck parking spaces. Demand runs highest on I-65 and I-75, with I-75 carrying the largest unmet demand, and 10 priority expansion sites sit in the I-71, I-75, and I-64 triangle.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 51% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 17% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $16.30 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 778 hexagons:
- 64 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 123 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 Kentucky?
Trucking Lab includes 5,982 private truck parking spaces across 178 locations and 1,182 public spaces across 38 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
Kentucky planning material points to I-65, I-75, and the I-71, I-75, and I-64 triangle.
What is the main truck parking issue in Kentucky?
A large structural capacity deficit, with the strongest unmet demand on the major corridors and priority need for targeted 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.
