Senate Bill Would Fund More Truck Parking
December 02, 2022
A bill to expand truck driver parking has been introduced in the Senate.
The Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act, which would fund more parking spots and upgrade existing parking infrastructure, was introduced in the Senate on Dec. 1.
“A lack of accessible and reliable truck parking makes our roads less safe,” stated Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), who co-sponsored the legislation with Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.). “Our bipartisan legislation will expand freight truck parking to ensure that truck drivers can safely and efficiently move the goods that support our nation’s economy and supply chains.”
Similar legislation was introduced into the House in March 2021.
