Wisconsin Truck Parking Study Data
Wisconsin 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.

Milwaukee and Dane carry the pressure
Wisconsin’s strongest parking pressure follows I-94, I-90, Milwaukee County, Dane County, and the southeastern freight network.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 65.7% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 32.8% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $25.80 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,367 hexagons:
- 109 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 203 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 metropolitan and corridor 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.
