Utah truck parking data for DOT proposals
Verified inventory, shortage screening, and corridor context, ready for freight plans, parking studies, and proposals. No rebuilding the analysis from scratch.
Utah at a glance
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
- $18.00 per nightaverage price at paid facilities
Grid screening, about 1,742 hexagons
- 148 shortage gridspeak utilization exceeds 90%
- 72 demand gridsmodeled demand exists without an official parking location
Proposal fit
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.
| Criteria | Typical approach | With Trucking Lab |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Unscreened facility lists. | Planning-ready Utah inventory. |
| Usability | No distinction between usable and incidental parking. | Shortage and utilization context. |
| Narrative | Weak connection to the proposal story. | Clear corridor and project logic. |
| Prioritization | Limited support for ranking investments. | Outputs ready for technical documents. |

FAQ
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.
