Mississippi Truck Parking Study Data
Mississippi 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
950 short now, 2,400 by 2045
The state study puts current shortages on I-10, I-20, and I-55 at about 950 spaces as of 2023, growing to more than 2,400 by 2045 without intervention. Ramp and shoulder parking follows directly from that gap.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 63% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 20% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $14.90 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 850 hexagons:
- 71 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 124 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 Mississippi?
Trucking Lab includes 5,674 private truck parking spaces across 206 locations and 653 public spaces across 55 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
Mississippi planning material points to I-10, I-20, I-55, and the main Jackson-connected freight corridors.
What is the main truck parking issue in Mississippi?
A significant and growing supply gap, plus recurring unauthorized parking caused by insufficient capacity and weak access to legal spaces.
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.
