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.
Utah parking, at a glance
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

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.
