PA HR20

Joint State Government Commission directed to conduct a comprehensive study on truck parking shortages in Pennsylvania and report findings within 12 months to the House Transportation Committee

Pennsylvania faces a shortfall of approximately 4,400 truck parking spaces, resulting in roughly 1,000 trucks parking on highway shoulders and ramps nightly

Trucks account for 75% of all freight movement in Pennsylvania across more than 120,000 miles of roadway

Study must identify high-demand corridors, examine best practices from other states, develop strategies to expand public and private parking facilities, and recommend legislative actions

Study requires engagement with local communities, trucking industry stakeholders, and transportation experts to evaluate regulatory changes addressing current and future parking demand
