The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has taken a significant step toward resolving a long-standing issue affecting Queens residents. On Tuesday, August 6, 2025, the agency broke ground on a major expansion of truck parking facilities at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a project designed to keep cargo trucks off residential streets after years of complaints from southeast Queens communities.
The Scope of the Problem
For years, residents in neighborhoods surrounding JFK Airport—including Springfield Gardens, Rochdale, Brookville, and Rosedale—have endured the consequences of inadequate truck parking infrastructure. The situation has been particularly challenging as JFK Airport has experienced substantial growth in cargo operations:
1.67 million tons of cargo handled in 2024
5% increase from the previous year
25% growth since 2019
8th busiest cargo airport in the United States
The existing Airport Truck Plaza, with space for only 50 trucks, has been woefully inadequate to meet the demand, forcing drivers to park illegally on residential streets.
The Expansion Project Details
The new initiative represents a comprehensive solution to the parking shortage:
Triple the Parking Capacity
The expansion will triple the number of truck parking spaces at the airport, providing much-needed relief for both drivers and residents.
Modern Amenities
The expanded facility will include:
Updated restrooms for driver comfort and compliance with hours-of-service regulations
Food concessions to support drivers during their rest periods
Electric vehicle chargers to accommodate the growing fleet of electric trucks
Strategic Location
The expanded truck plaza will replace a currently vacant food preparation building and complement the existing Airport Truck Plaza, maximizing the use of available airport property.
Community Impact and Relief
The project has been met with enthusiasm from local community leaders who have long advocated for a solution to the overnight truck parking problem.
Bryan Block, chair of Queens Community Board 13, expressed relief: “Today, we can finally look forward to the potential solution of a problem our communities have suffered through for many years… overnight truck parking.”
The expansion is expected to significantly reduce the burden on nearby neighborhoods by providing designated parking areas that keep large commercial vehicles off residential streets.
Economic and Operational Benefits
Rick Cotton, Port Authority executive director, emphasized the broader benefits: “Breaking ground for the expansion of truck parking facilities at JFK Airport is a win for the airport, a win for the community and a win for the drivers who support our cargo operations and help to keep our region moving.”
The project is part of the Port Authority’s broader investment strategy at JFK Airport, reflecting the agency’s commitment to supporting both airport operations and surrounding communities.
Timeline and Implementation
Groundbreaking: August 6, 2025
Expected completion: Fall 2026
Project scope: Part of broader JFK Airport investment program
The Broader Context: Nationwide Truck Parking Shortage
The situation at JFK Airport reflects a larger nationwide challenge. According to the American Trucking Associations, there is currently one truck parking space for every 11 trucks on the road nationwide. This shortage forces drivers into difficult situations, including illegal parking in residential areas.
How Truck Parking Club Provides Additional Solutions
While the Port Authority’s expansion addresses the immediate need at JFK Airport, private solutions like Truck Parking Club continue to play a vital role in addressing the broader parking shortage:
The JFK Airport expansion demonstrates how airports can work with their surrounding communities to address truck parking challenges. The combination of:
Strategic location planning
Modern amenities for drivers
Community input and feedback
Partnerships between government and industry
Shows that even complex urban problems like airport-adjacent truck parking can be addressed effectively.
Looking Ahead
As construction progresses toward the fall 2026 completion date, Queens residents should begin to see improvements in their neighborhoods. The key to success will be:
Effective utilization of the expanded parking facilities
Ongoing community feedback and program adjustments
Partnerships between the Port Authority, trucking companies, and local communities
Continued investment in airport infrastructure to support growing cargo operations
This expansion represents more than just additional parking spaces—it’s an investment in community relations, airport efficiency, and the well-being of the truck drivers who keep America’s cargo moving.
We added 105 new truck parking locations with 1,234 spaces across 25 states this week. That’s our biggest single-week expansion yet, giving drivers more options from coast to coast.
With drivers spending 58 minutes every day just looking for a place to park, these new locations are going to make a massive difference in reducing search time and stress.
Where We Added the Most Spaces
Illinois – 5 new locations, 151 spaces Huge expansion including 100 spaces in Elwood and 40 spaces in Kankakee – major relief for Chicago area drivers.
California – 6 new locations, 119 spaces Strong week with 100 spaces in Perris and 25 spaces in Lancaster – big help for LA and Bay Area routes.
Georgia – 8 new locations, 118 spaces Most locations added this week, with major spots in Lithonia (42 spaces) and Greensboro (50 spaces).
Oklahoma – 5 new locations, 89 spaces Big addition in Inola (30 spaces) plus multiple Oklahoma City locations totaling 35 spaces.
These 1,234 new parking spaces save drivers about 71,572 minutes of searching time every day. That’s over 1,190 hours drivers can spend resting, eating, or getting back on the road instead of burning fuel looking for a location.
The Midwest got a massive boost with Illinois leading the way at 151 spaces – that 100-space Elwood location alone will save drivers hours of searching around Chicago. The Southeast saw strong growth with Georgia adding 118 spaces across 8 locations, including major spots in Lithonia and Greensboro.
California drivers got much-needed relief with 119 new spaces, including that huge 100-space Perris location that will be a game-changer for LA area routes.

Queens residents may finally see relief from a persistent problem that has plagued their neighborhoods for years: illegal truck parking by large commercial vehicles on residential streets. On Thursday, July 30, 2025, three City Council bills will go into effect, marking a significant step toward addressing this quality-of-life issue that has particularly affected areas surrounding John F. Kennedy Airport.
The Scope of the Problem
The illegal parking of tractor trailers and other large commercial vehicles has been especially problematic in Southeast Queens, where streets surrounding JFK Airport—one of the world’s busiest commercial hubs—have become de facto truck parking lots. The consequences have been far-reaching:
Congestion on residential streets
Reduced parking availability for local residents
Interference with street cleaning operations
Safety concerns for pedestrians and other motorists
Property value impacts in affected neighborhoods
The Legislative Solution
The three bills, including one sponsored by Southeast Queens Councilmember Nantasha Williams, establish a comprehensive approach to the problem:
1. Overnight Parking Areas for Commercial Vehicles
The Williams-sponsored bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish designated overnight parking areas for commercial vehicles in business zones. These areas will:
Be available exclusively for commercial vehicles
Operate for at least 10 consecutive overnight hours
Be strategically located in industrial business zones rather than residential areas
2. Enhanced Sanitation Department Authority
The other two bills grant the city’s Sanitation Department increased authority to identify and remove derelict vehicles, providing additional enforcement capabilities.
Bipartisan Support and Community Impact
The legislation received overwhelming support, passing unanimously with 37 co-sponsors. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams emphasized the broader impact: “Illegal commercial truck parking remains a persistent issue in Southeast Queens and communities across the city, impacting the health and safety of New Yorkers.”
The new law builds on previous Council actions, including:
Redesigning the city’s truck route network
Creating off-site parking for tractor trailers
Establishing the “Safer Truck Parking for Safer Streets” pilot program
The Pilot Program and Implementation Challenges
The DOT has been piloting the “Safer Truck Parking for Safer Streets” program, which introduces metered parking options in select industrial business zones. However, the initial pilot locations—Flatlands in Brooklyn, Hunt’s Point in the Bronx, and Maspeth—excluded the JFK area, drawing criticism from Southeast Queens leaders.
Councilmember Williams expressed confusion about the exclusion: “I’m actually quite confused as to why my community was not included in this pilot. I know tons of communities deal with truck parking related issues, but I will endeavor to say that the Southeast Queens community…have been dealing with this issue for far longer than I’ve been in the Council.”
Implementation Timeline and Challenges
According to Councilmember Selvena Brooks-Powers, the pilot program is still in its early stages. The DOT has been using this time to identify suitable sites and prepare for the legislation’s implementation. Brooks-Powers recently toured a potential site in Springfield Gardens but noted the challenges of finding ideal locations.
“We are a community that nestles right next to one of the busiest airports in the nation, that has one of the highest traffic for cargo, and so it becomes challenging,” she said. “It’s not going to be an easy task to identify the most ideal location, because all of these things are things that have to be taken into account.”
The Role of Enforcement
James Johnson, executive director of the GatewayJFK Business Improvement District, emphasized that the success of the legislation depends heavily on enforcement: “The bill will not work if there’s no enforcement. We need enforcement, and if enforcement is happening, then this bill can work magically.”
A Model for Other Communities
Queens’ approach to addressing illegal truck parking could serve as a model for other communities facing similar issues. The combination of:
Designated overnight parking areas
Enhanced enforcement capabilities
Community input and feedback
Strategic location planning
Demonstrates a comprehensive approach to solving a complex urban problem.
The Broader Context: Nationwide Truck Parking Shortage
The situation in Queens reflects a larger nationwide issue. According to the American Trucking Associations, there is currently one truck parking space for every 11 trucks on the road nationwide. This shortage forces drivers into difficult situations, including illegal parking in residential areas.
How Truck Parking Club Provides Solutions
While government initiatives like Queens’ new legislation are crucial, private solutions like Truck Parking Club continue to play a vital role in addressing the parking shortage:
The implementation of these bills represents a significant step forward in addressing the illegal truck parking crisis in Queens. As the DOT continues to identify suitable sites and the pilot program expands, residents should begin to see improvements in their neighborhoods.
The key to success will be:
Effective enforcement of the new regulations
Adequate capacity in the designated parking areas
Ongoing community feedback and program adjustments
Partnerships between government, property owners, and the trucking industry
This legislation demonstrates that with proper planning, community input, and enforcement, even complex urban problems like illegal truck parking can be addressed effectively.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has taken a bold step to address one of the most critical issues facing the trucking industry today. On July 29, 2025, Governor DeWine and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Pamela Boratyn announced a comprehensive plan to add at least 1,400 new truck parking spaces across the state, more than doubling Ohio’s current truck parking capacity on state-owned property.
A Strategic Response to Growing Demand
Ohio’s position as a critical freight corridor makes this expansion particularly significant. The state is perfectly situated within a day’s drive of 60% of the U.S. and Canadian population, making it one of America’s most important transportation hubs.
The numbers tell the story:
27.5 million miles logged by trucks on Ohio roads in 2023 alone
26% increase in freight volume projected by 2045
33 new truck parking areas across 19 counties
$150 million in funding from the current transportation budget
The Human Cost of Parking Shortages
The announcement comes at a critical time. According to the American Trucking Associations, there is currently one truck parking space for every 11 trucks on the road nationwide. This shortage forces drivers into dangerous situations:
Driving while drowsy when they can’t find parking
Parking in unsafe areas like highway shoulders and exit ramps
689 crashes caused by drowsy semi-truck drivers in Ohio since 2015
345 injuries and 2 fatalities resulting from these crashes
Strategic Site Selection
The 33 new truck parking areas will be strategically located across 19 counties, organized by region to maximize coverage and accessibility:
Northwest Region (8 locations)
Allen County: US 30 Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Henry County: US 6 and County Road 424 Infields (Eastbound)
Medina County: IR 71 Rest Areas (Northbound & Southbound), IR 76 Rest Areas (Eastbound – Existing, Westbound – Vacant)
Wyandot County: US 30 Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Northeast Region (8 locations)
Ashtabula County: IR 90 Vacant Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Summit County: IR 271 Rest Areas (Northbound & Southbound), IR 77 Vacant Rest Area
Belmont County: IR 70 Weigh Station (Eastbound)
Lake County: IR 90 Vacant Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Mahoning County: SR 11 Vacant Rest Areas (Northbound)
Southwest Region (7 locations)
Auglaize County: US 33/Willipie Infields (Eastbound), US 33 Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Clermont County: IR 275 Rest Areas (TP Northbound & Southbound)
Warren County: IR 71 Rest Areas (Northbound & Southbound)
Southeast Region (10 locations)
Guernsey County: IR 70 Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Franklin County: IR 71/US 62 Infields (Eastbound)
Ross County: US 35/US50 Interchange, US 23/SR159 Interchange
Gallia County: US 35 Rest Areas (Westbound & Eastbound)
Fayette County: US 35/US62/US22 Infields (East)
Once complete, the American Transportation Research Institute projects that Ohio will lead the nation in the total number of long-term truck parking spaces available on state-owned property.
A Comprehensive Approach to Safety
Each new parking site will include:
Lighting for enhanced security and visibility
Restroom facilities to support driver comfort and compliance with hours-of-service regulations
Safe, accessible locations away from dangerous highway shoulders
Building on Previous Success
This expansion is part of Ohio’s ongoing commitment to supporting freight mobility and highway safety. Recent initiatives include:
2019: Launch of Truck Parking Information Management System (TPIMS) with Midwest states for real-time parking availability 2022: Conversion of more than a dozen unused weigh stations into truck parking areas (144 new spaces) 2023: Statewide initiative to modernize 36 rest areas (401 new truck parking spots) 2024: Transformation of two abandoned rest areas in Preble and Trumbull counties (138 additional spaces)
The Economic Impact
Governor DeWine emphasized the broader economic benefits: “As Ohio’s economy continues to grow, so do the number of trucks traveling on Ohio’s network of interstates and state routes. By expanding safe, accessible places for drivers to rest, we’re supporting the people who keep our economy moving and making it safer for everyone on our roads.”
Timeline and Implementation
Construction begins: 2026
Expected completion: End of 2027
Total current parking spaces statewide: Approximately 14,200 (mostly at privately owned truck stops and businesses)
How Truck Parking Club Complements State Initiatives
While Ohio’s public investment is crucial, private solutions like Truck Parking Club continue to play a vital role in addressing the parking shortage. Our platform helps property owners monetize underutilized space while providing drivers with safe, reliable parking options.
Ohio’s comprehensive approach—combining public investment with private partnerships—could serve as a model for other states facing similar truck parking shortages. The combination of strategic site selection, safety-focused design, and substantial funding demonstrates what’s possible when state leadership prioritizes this critical infrastructure need.
Looking Ahead
As construction begins in 2026, Ohio will be setting a new standard for truck parking infrastructure. The state’s commitment to doubling its truck parking capacity shows that with proper planning and investment, the truck parking crisis can be addressed effectively.
This initiative represents more than just additional parking spaces—it’s an investment in highway safety, economic growth, and the well-being of the truck drivers who keep America’s economy moving.
We added 47 new Property Member locations with 698 spaces across 23 states this week. That’s solid growth covering nearly half the country with more reservable parking options.
With drivers spending 58 minutes every day just looking for a place to park, these new spots are going to cut down on all that wasted time and fuel.
Where We Added the Most Spaces
Illinois – 2 new locations, 115 spaces Huge week for Illinois with 100 spaces in Bartlett alone, plus 15 more in Morris.
Texas – 6 new locations, 97 spaces Most locations added this week, including 50 spaces in Houston and 15 in Odessa.
Alabama – 3 new locations, 55 spaces Strong expansion in Heflin with multiple locations serving I-20 traffic.
Indiana – 1 new location, 50 spaces Major addition in Greenfield with 50 spaces serving the Indianapolis metro area.
These 698 new parking spaces save drivers about 40,484 minutes of searching time every day. That’s a massive amount of time you can spend resting, eating, or getting back on the road instead of burning fuel hunting for a spot.
Illinois had a monster week with that 100-space Bartlett location – huge for drivers serving the Chicago area. And Texas keeps growing with 6 new locations including that 50-space Houston spot.
The Southeast got solid coverage with big additions in Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida – 148 total spaces across those three states.

If you’re looking for an easy, buttoned-up investment, commercial vehicle storage might not be for you. There’s no 40-year playbook like there’s been in self-storage.
Truck parking is new. It’s raw. It’s real estate at the edge of the map. It’s unzoned, unpaved and often misunderstood.
But for those with a little heart and a lot of grit? This is where the future lives.
When I first stepped into this space, I saw what others missed: a growing need, a broken system and an opportunity to build something better. Truck drivers were parking wherever they could: rest stops, off-ramps, behind gas stations, and not because they wanted to, but because the industry gave them no other choice. Meanwhile, acres of untapped land sat idle across the country.
That disconnect? That’s where we come in. And we can do it better than anyone else.
Commercial vehicle storage–whether it’s for semis, work truck or last-mile delivery vehicles–is about solving a real problem in real time. It’s not glamorous, but it is necessary. And when done right, it’s impactful, profitable and sustainable.
We’re not just storing trucks; we’re stabilizing supply chains, giving drivers a safe place to rest and breathing new life into underutilized land. It takes vision. It takes navigating zoning laws that haven’t caught up with reality. It takes listening to drivers, thinking like a logistics operator and acting like a builder.
And yeah, it takes heart.
Every gate we install, every acre we convert, every fleet we support, it’s one more step toward legitimizing a new asset class that doesn’t just store vehicles, but moves America forward.
So if you’re wondering whether commercial vehicle storage is for you, ask yourself this: Do you want to follow the herd, or do you want to help build the road they’ll follow next?
This ain’t for the faint of heart, but it just might be for you.

Stanislaus County is taking decisive action to address a growing crisis: the proliferation of illegal truck parking facilities that have been causing conflicts between trucking businesses, property owners, and agricultural operations.
According to a recent Modesto Bee report, the county Planning and Community Development Department is holding a public meeting this week to discuss proposed new regulations for truck parking facilities. The meeting comes after months of study by a county-appointed committee that has been examining the complex issues surrounding truck parking in agricultural zones.
The Problem: Demand Far Exceeds Legal Options
The situation in Stanislaus County mirrors a nationwide trend. As the Modesto Bee reported, “The demand for truck parking has far outstripped the number of legal parking facilities, and public complaints about illegally parked trucks have intensified.”
Trucking businesses that haul regular freight (not agricultural products) have increasingly been parking trucks and trailers on rural parcels throughout the county. This has created tension with farming advocates who complain about interference with farm operations, ground pollution, increased truck traffic and noise, and road wear and tear.
Proposed Solutions and Their Impact
The county is considering several key changes to address these issues:
Limiting home-occupation permits in agricultural zones to one tractor-trailer rig instead of three
Prohibiting oil changes and truck washing at parking facilities
Defining “concentration” limits – no more than two truck parking facilities within one mile of a state highway or interstate
These regulations aim to balance the needs of trucking businesses with the concerns of agricultural operations and residents.
The Bigger Picture: Why This Matters
Stanislaus County’s situation highlights a critical nationwide issue: the truck parking shortage affects everyone in the supply chain. When truckers can’t find legal parking, they’re forced to park illegally, creating safety hazards and community conflicts.
The county’s approach of studying the issue thoroughly before implementing regulations is commendable. However, while these regulatory changes work their way through the approval process (expected to reach the Board of Supervisors in November), truckers still need parking solutions today.
Immediate Solutions Available
For Truckers: Legal, safe parking is available right now in the Stanislaus County area. Instead of risking citations and safety concerns with illegal parking, drivers can book confirmed truck parking spots online with instant reservations.
For Property Owners: If you have unused space in Stanislaus County – whether you’re a trucking company, storage facility, or agricultural property owner – you can monetize that space while helping solve this community problem. The county’s new regulations will likely create more opportunities for properly permitted facilities.
Looking Ahead
Stanislaus County’s proactive approach to addressing truck parking issues could serve as a model for other communities facing similar challenges. By creating clear regulations that balance the needs of all stakeholders, they’re working toward a sustainable solution.
The key is ensuring that as regulations are implemented, there are enough legal parking options available to meet the demand. This requires collaboration between government, property owners, and the trucking industry.
In an op-ed published in the Chicago Tribune on July 22, 2025, Chris Spear, President and CEO of the American Trucking Associations (ATA), sounded the alarm on one of the most critical issues facing the trucking industry today: the severe shortage of safe truck parking spaces across America.
The Stark Reality: 11 Drivers for Every Parking Space
Spear’s article opens with a sobering statistic: For every 11 truck drivers on the road, there is only one truck parking space available. This imbalance creates a cascade of problems that affect not just truck drivers, but the entire economy and public safety.
The consequences are dire:
Drivers spend up to an hour daily searching for parking (unpaid time)
Average annual lost compensation: $6,800 per driver
Forced parking in unsafe locations like highway shoulders and exit ramps
Increased delivery delays and costs for businesses and consumers
Thousands of accidents and dozens of fatalities annually
A Tragic Reminder of the Human Cost
Spear references a devastating 2023 accident on Interstate 70 in Illinois, where a Greyhound bus struck three semitrailers parked on a rest area ramp shoulder, resulting in three fatalities. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Jennifer Homendy’s recent report directly attributed this tragedy to the “critical shortage of safe truck parking.”
Federal Action and the Path Forward
The op-ed highlights recent federal initiatives, including:
$275 million in grant funding for truck parking expansion
$180 million specifically for the Interstate 4 corridor in Florida (adding 917 parking spots)
The bipartisan Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act (sponsored by Illinois Rep. Mike Bost)
$755 million in dedicated funding over four years proposed in the bill
How Truck Parking Club is Part of the Solution
While Spear emphasizes the need for public-private partnerships, Truck Parking Club has been actively working to address this crisis through innovative solutions:
1. Expanding Private Parking Networks
Through partnerships with storage operators, property owners, and existing truck stops, we’re rapidly expanding the available parking inventory without waiting for federal funding cycles.
2. Real-Time Parking Information
Our platform provides drivers with real-time parking availability, reducing the time spent searching for safe parking spots and helping them comply with hours-of-service regulations.
3. Safety-First Approach
Every location in our network is vetted for safety and security, providing drivers with the peace of mind they deserve after long hours on the road.
4. Economic Benefits for Property Owners
By helping storage operators and property owners monetize underutilized space, we’re creating a sustainable model that benefits both drivers and property owners.
The Call to Action
Spear’s message is clear: “Truckers don’t ask for much. They don’t expect luxury accommodations or special treatment. What they do expect — and deserve — is a safe place to stop after moving America’s economy day and night.”
At Truck Parking Club, we’re answering that call every day. Our growing network of safe, accessible parking locations is helping to bridge the gap while federal and state initiatives work their way through the system.
Join the Movement
The truck parking crisis affects everyone who relies on the goods transported by truck drivers. Whether you’re a property owner with available space or a driver in need of safe parking, Truck Parking Club offers solutions that work.
For Property Owners
