摘要: |
There is a shortage of short-term overnight parking options for trucks in Wisconsin. This increases the safety risks to truckers and the traveling public. The objective of this study is to identify and evaluate overnight parking options for trucks and low-cost strategies for building parking facilities. Investigators will inventory existing parking availability and legal limitations. They will also conduct an outreach effort to capture information about the optimal parking locations for truck drivers who need rest stops. This effort will include a survey and follow-up interviews with the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association. These results will be used to create a gap analysis and produce best practice recommendations. The results of this study will help WisDOT understand the extent of the shortage of short-term parking for truckers and will provide strategies for addressing the problem. / NOTE: Final rept. 01 Nov. 2007 - 31 May 2009. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation, Madison. and Federal Highway Administration, Madison, WI.
