South Carolina Truck Parking Study Data
South 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.

Public parking spaces
Peak demand hits 114% of capacity
The state study counts about 6,400 spaces, with roughly 69% concentrated on I-95, I-26, and I-85. Peak-hour demand reaches 114% of capacity. District 4 shows the largest shortage, and I-77, I-26, and I-85 rank top for improvements on demand and crash risk.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 53% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 26% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $19.80 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 629 hexagons:
- 41 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 129 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 South Carolina?
Trucking Lab includes 6,878 private truck parking spaces across 225 locations and 936 public spaces across 40 locations.
Where is pressure concentrated?
South Carolina planning material points to I-77, I-26, I-85, I-95, and District 4.
What is the main truck parking issue in South Carolina?
Demand already exceeds supply at peak hours, especially on the major interstate corridors where parking need and crash exposure overlap.
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.
