Louisiana Truck Parking Study Data
Louisiana 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.

Strong supply, still 11 sites over capacity
State freight material ranks Louisiana among the top five states for parking availability per 100 miles of National Highway System roadway. Even so, 11 public facilities run at or above capacity from midnight to 3 a.m.
Larger facilities, uneven peak pressure
- About 33% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 11% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $15.00 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 778 hexagons:
- 80 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 153 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 Louisiana?
Trucking Lab includes 9,397 private truck parking spaces across 284 locations and 396 public spaces across 23 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
Louisiana planning material points to I-10, I-20, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the key Gulf Coast corridors.
What is the main truck parking issue in Louisiana?
Uneven peak-hour pressure at public facilities, where shortages persist despite relatively strong availability by highway-mile measures.
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.
