Trucking Lab
West Virginia Truck Parking Study Data

West Virginia 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.

West Virginia’s strongest pressure follows I-77, I-79, I-64, Charleston, and mountainous Districts 2 and 8, where geography limits practical expansion.

Small facilities dominate the inventory

  • More than 47% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
  • About 9% have five or fewer spaces.
  • Paid facilities average approximately $18.30 per night.

Grid screening across approximately 602 hexagons:

  • 46 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
  • 66 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 mountain-corridor context
  • Limited support for investment prioritization

With Trucking Lab

  • Planning-ready West Virginia inventory
  • Shortage and mountain-corridor context
  • Clear connection to over-capacity facilities
  • Outputs ready for technical documents

Counts describe supply. Context explains the need.

Your proposal should show where pressure is building, why existing supply falls short, and where investment should go next.

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 West Virginia?

Trucking Lab includes 1,262 private spaces across 42 locations and 718 public spaces across 24 locations.

Where are the main pressure areas?

I-77, I-79, I-64, Charleston, and mountainous Districts 2 and 8 carry the strongest pressure.

What is the main parking issue?

Demand exceeds capacity on key interstates while mountainous and non-interstate areas remain underserved.

Why do parking totals differ?

Sources apply different inclusion rules. Trucking Lab focuses on usable supply suitable for freight planning.
