North Dakota 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.
North Dakota parking, at a glance
Private supply runs along I-94, I-29, and US-2, with overall capacity above several neighboring states. But western counties including McHenry, Golden Valley, Morton, Burleigh, Barnes, Billings, and Dunn show the highest demand-to-capacity ratios, and Cass County and Fargo carry the most activity.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 54% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 6% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $20.00 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,756 hexagons:
- 152 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 64 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 Dakota?
Trucking Lab includes 3,018 private truck parking spaces across 74 locations and 224 public spaces across 21 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
Planning material points to the Fargo region, Cass County, Grand Forks, the western high-ratio counties, and the I-94, I-29, and US-2 corridors.
What is the main truck parking issue in North Dakota?
Not total supply, but uneven pressure across specific counties and corridors where demand-to-capacity ratios run highest despite strong statewide totals.
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.
