Trucking Lab
Vermont Truck Parking Study Data

Vermont 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.

Six spaces per location

Vermont's formal network averages about six spaces per location across 44 sites. On a network this thin, spacing and access decide adequacy, not headline totals.

What the planning record shows

  • The freight plan notes 236 formal commercial vehicle spaces across 44 locations — about six spaces per location.
  • Most spaces sit along the interstates and major routes such as VT 9, US 7, and US 4.
  • Parking and hotspot activity align with the north-south interstate spine and selected east-west connections, not a broad statewide spread.

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 Vermont inventory
  • Shortage and utilization context
  • Clear corridor and project logic
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

Missing detail in the public record is part of the challenge. A weak study restates that the network is small. A strong one explains how corridor concentration, spacing, and route-level access shape adequacy.

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 Vermont?

Trucking Lab includes 204 private truck parking spaces across 20 locations and 270 public spaces across 44 locations.

Where is pressure concentrated?

Planning material and the hotspot map point to the interstate spine and the major NHS routes, including VT 9, US 7, and US 4, with corridor clustering rather than one large urban hotspot.

What is the main truck parking issue in Vermont?

Thin network coverage and route-level adequacy, spread across a small number of formal spaces, rather than one large statewide shortage figure.

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.
