Missouri Truck Parking Study Data
Missouri 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.

Wright City is the largest single gap
The state investment study names the Wright City Rest Area on I-70 in Warren County as the single largest gap location. Priority sites include Wright City, St. Clair, and Doolittle, several with benefit-cost ratios above one.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 52% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 19% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $17.80 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,364 hexagons:
- 93 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 157 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 Missouri?
Trucking Lab includes 10,699 private truck parking spaces across 313 locations and 1,441 public spaces across 59 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
The state investment study points to I-70 and priority sites such as Wright City, St. Clair, and Doolittle, with many public facilities at or above capacity during peak hours.
What is the main truck parking issue in Missouri?
Site-specific gaps on high-demand routes, already ranked through benefit-cost analysis, which shifts the work from counting to prioritization.
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.
