Trucking Lab
Oregon Truck Parking Study Data

Oregon 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.

Hundreds park undesignated daily

The state study finds severe current shortages near Portland and Salem, with hundreds of trucks parking daily in undesignated locations. Pressure runs hardest on I-5, including Grants Pass to Roseburg and Salem to Portland, with future growth projected on I-84 and US 97.

Small facilities dominate the inventory

  • More than 56% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 15% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $32.70 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 2,206 hexagons:

  • 148 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
  • 80 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 Oregon inventory
  • Shortage and utilization context
  • Clear corridor and project logic
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

The Oregon narrative has to follow the corridor map. Inventory totals miss where undesignated parking already happens and where growth is coming. I-5, I-84, and rural segments each need a different response.

What you get

Base Oregon data

  • Parking inventory by location
  • Public and private classification
  • Truck-space counts and amenities
  • Planning-use screening

Proposal-ready outputs

  • GIS-ready dataset
  • Hotspot and corridor context
  • Draft-ready charts and figures

Built for consulting teams

  • Freight plan teams
  • DOT truck parking study teams
  • MPO and corridor study teams
  • Grant and infrastructure advisers

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 Oregon?

Trucking Lab includes 3,722 private truck parking spaces across 94 locations and 674 public spaces across 44 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Oregon planning material points to Portland, Salem, I-5, I-84, and US 97, with especially acute issues on key I-5 and I-84 segments.

What is the main truck parking issue in Oregon?

Corridor-specific shortage, with undesignated parking in high-demand areas today and growth expected to intensify need on I-84, US 97, and the I-5 spine.

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.
