The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded $200 million in infrastructure grants to expand truck parking capacity across 12 states. The investment aims to address truck parking shortages along major freight corridors and at key freight facilities. The funding will support the creation of hundreds of new parking spaces designed to accommodate the nation's commercial trucking fleet. The American Trucking Associations said the initiatives represent a significant step toward improving conditions for drivers and enhancing supply chain efficiency. Transportation officials view the expansion as essential infrastructure that supports both driver safety and freight movement reliability.
