Trucking Lab
Utah Truck Parking Study Data

Utah 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.

I-15 is the whole story

The freight plan cites parking need along the I-15 corridor and reports totals only for that corridor, not the full statewide network. Named shortage zones: St. George, Cedar City, Nephi, the Salt Lake City warehouse district, and Ogden to Tremonton.

Small facilities dominate the inventory

  • More than 55% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 9% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $18.00 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 1,742 hexagons:

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

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

The corridor narrative beats the raw total in Utah. The record already names very specific shortage zones, so explain how the I-15 spine and the warehouse district drive need differently.

What you get

Base Utah 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
  • Executive summary language

Deeper analysis

  • Truck parking demand model

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 Utah?

Trucking Lab includes 3,563 private truck parking spaces across 92 locations and 595 public spaces across 46 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Utah planning material points to St. George, Cedar City, Nephi, the Salt Lake City warehouse district, and the Ogden-to-Tremonton corridor.

What is the main truck parking issue in Utah?

Targeted shortage along the I-15 corridor and the Wasatch Front network, where several specific zones already need more long-term parking.

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.
