North Carolina Truck Parking Study Data
North Carolina 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.

State studies describe about 4,800 spaces overall, with 85% provided by private facilities. Demand is projected to exceed supply within 5 to 10 years, with the strongest pressure on I-26, I-77, I-85, and I-95.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 67% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 36% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $18.90 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,055 hexagons:
- 88 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 175 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 North Carolina?
Trucking Lab includes 5,159 private truck parking spaces across 241 locations and 812 public spaces across 51 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
North Carolina planning material points to I-26, I-77, I-85, I-95, and the core statewide interstate network.
What is the main truck parking issue in North Carolina?
Demand is expected to outpace supply as freight volumes rise, especially on the major interstate corridors.
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.
