Massachusetts Truck Parking Study Data
Massachusetts 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-90 plazas run over capacity
State material notes that I-90 service plazas frequently exceed capacity. Recommended additions sit near I-395, I-95 at the I-93 interchange, and I-495 north of I-290, plus expansion of the southbound I-95 plaza and several I-90 plazas.
A small-format network with almost no slack
- About 75% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 35% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $23.50 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 226 hexagons:
- 2 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 52 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 Massachusetts?
Trucking Lab includes 593 private truck parking spaces across 31 locations and 466 public spaces across 41 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
Massachusetts planning material points to the I-90 corridor, the I-95 network, and interchange zones such as I-395 and I-495.
What is the main truck parking issue in Massachusetts?
Service-plaza overcapacity along key corridors, especially I-90, combined with limited room for expansion near major interchanges.
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.
