Description: The Truck Stop Parking dataset was compiled on April 09, 2019 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The truck parking data was collected as part of the Jason's Law Truck Parking Survey requirement of MAP-21 (PL 112-141) to provide a "national priority on addressing the shortage of long-term parking for commercial motor vehicles on the National Highway System to improve the safety of motorized and non-motorized users and for commercial motor vehicle operators." Jason's Law required the USDOT to conduct a survey and comparative assessment in consultation with relevant State motor carrier representatives to: 1. Evaluate the capability of the State to provide adequate parking and rest facilities for commercial motor vehicles engaged in interstate transportation; 2. Assess the volume of commercial motor vehicle traffic in the State; and 3. Develop a system of metrics to measure the adequacy of commercial motor vehicle parking facilities in the State.
