Trucking Lab
Nebraska Truck Parking Study Data

Nebraska 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 state

Public truck parking sits primarily along I-80, Nebraska's highest-volume freight corridor. The network serves both directions, but financial constraints have blocked significant expansion while the freight plan projects major growth through 2045.

Small facilities dominate the inventory

  • More than 56% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 17% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $15.30 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 1,679 hexagons:

  • 159 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
  • 91 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

With Trucking Lab

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

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

Finding the corridor is easy in Nebraska. Showing what should happen on it is the work. I-80 dominates the story, so bring corridor-specific investment logic, not a statewide summary.

What you get

Base Nebraska data

  • Parking inventory by location

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 Nebraska?

Trucking Lab includes 4,081 private truck parking spaces across 133 locations and 327 public spaces across 20 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Nebraska planning material points to Interstate 80 and the major freight nodes along it, including the Omaha-connected end of the network.

What is the main truck parking issue in Nebraska?

Concentrated dependence on I-80, where limited public expansion meets rising long-term freight growth.

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.
