Trucking Lab
New Jersey Truck Parking Study Data

New Jersey 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.

135 public spaces in the official count

State freight material lists public parking at 16 locations with only 135 spaces, and those run heavily used. Private facilities add capacity but bring higher fees and congestion, which shifts the problem rather than solving it.

A small-format network at premium prices

  • More than 67% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 38% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $31.90 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 200 hexagons:

  • 16 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
  • 52 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 New Jersey inventory
  • Shortage and utilization context
  • Clear corridor and project logic
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

Counts understate the operating problem in New Jersey. Public capacity is small, private capacity is costly and congested, and the network is compressed. Explain where shortage bites and what added capacity or information systems would change.

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 New Jersey?

Trucking Lab includes 2,903 private truck parking spaces across 106 locations and 940 public spaces across 26 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Hotspot patterns and state freight material point to the Turnpike corridor, the Newark to New York connection, the I-295 spine, and the South Jersey freight network.

What is the main truck parking issue in New Jersey?

Insufficient capacity in a dense, high-cost corridor network, where public supply is limited and private supply does not resolve congestion or accessibility.

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.
