INFRA Track 2 funding for truck parking is highly competitive, and success depends on your agency’s ability to document demand, quantify safety impacts, and support a defensible Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA). Many applications fall short due to: - Limited visibility into actual truck parking demand - Insufficient data to support BCA and project justification - Reliance on estimates vs. observed parking behavior To help agencies submit stronger applications, INRIX is offering a no-cost Truck Parking Analysis aligned with FHWA and INFRA grant requirements. The analysis is designed to be incorporated directly into your application and supporting materials. Key Details Winning applications require clear, data-backed proof of need and measurable freight impacts. - Funding Amount: $200 million dedicated to CMV parking - Application Deadline: July 15, 2026 - Focus Area: Expanding safe, accessible truck parking to reduce fatigue-related risk and improve freight flow - Award Structure: - Up to 80% federal cost share (or 60% max depending on structure) - ~$100M reserved for small projects - Data Requirements: - Detailed Project Narrative - Complete Project Budget - Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) demonstrating national/regional freight impact Why Truck Parking Projects Face Challenges Truck parking shortages remain one of the freight industry’s most persistent infrastructure issues. Drivers often spend valuable time searching for available parking, leading to: - Increased driver fatigue - Illegal or unsafe roadside parking - Freight delivery delays - Congestion around industrial areas and nearby communities Unfortunately, many grant applications struggle to demonstrate the true scope of these problems because they rely on estimates, limited field studies, or outdated surveys instead of observed truck activity. How to Strengthen Your Application Using observed truck parking data can significantly strengthen every section of an INFRA application. - Demonstrate Clear Freight Need & Safety Impact: INFRA prioritizes projects that quantify demand and reduce safety risks
