Trucking Lab
Maryland Truck Parking Study Data

Maryland 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.

One corridor carries the demand

Maryland freight parking demand concentrates on I-95, around Baltimore-area freight activity, with limited designated urban supply behind it.

What the planning record shows

  • Public and private spaces cluster along I-95, the state's primary freight corridor, with more concentration on I-70.
  • The I-95 Welcome Center in Laurel is flagged as a critical problem location, with frequent undesignated parking.
  • Priority ideas include reusing park-and-ride lots and expanding facilities along the northbound I-95 corridor.

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

With Trucking Lab

  • Planning-ready Maryland inventory
  • Shortage and utilization context
  • Clear corridor and project logic
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

When one corridor carries this much of the demand and Laurel already shows overflow behavior, a flat statewide narrative is easy for a competitor to pick apart.

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 Maryland?

Trucking Lab includes 1,993 private truck parking spaces across 58 locations and 622 public spaces across 26 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Maryland planning material points to I-95, I-70, the Laurel Welcome Center, and Baltimore-area freight hubs.

What is the main truck parking issue in Maryland?

Concentrated shortage pressure on I-95 and around urban freight hubs, where designated capacity falls short and undesignated parking becomes common.

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.
