Trucking news and briefs for Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023:
The New York State Department of Transportation is asking for feedback from truck drivers in the state to help determine areas where truck parking is needed. Truckers are asked to complete this survey, which asks respondents to pinpoint places on a map where they know of a truck parking need or issue, as well as areas where they think there are opportunities to expand truck parking.
The survey is part of NYSDOT’s efforts in developing a State Freight Plan to guide policy and investment decisions to address freight needs and enhance economic competitiveness, safety, efficiency, infrastructure condition, equity, and environmental sustainability.
The plan will include a Truck Parking Assessment, providing an updated truck parking inventory, parking-needs review and an analysis of parking conditions.
NYSDOT said driver input can help them identify challenges, needs and opportunities related to truck parking across the state.
