2024 Jason's Law Truck Parking Survey - Interstate Truck Driver Survey - OOIDA

Proposed Email Transmittal:
Members: Your immediate assistance is needed to assist USDOT with an update to the Jason’s Law truck parking survey, as required under Jason’s Law MAP-21 §1401(c) (Jason’s Law). USDOT is required, “not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with relevant State motor carrier safety personnel, shall conduct a survey of each State-- (A) to evaluate the capability of the State to provide adequate parking and rest facilities for commercial motor vehicles engaged in interstate transportation; (B) to assess the volume of commercial motor vehicle traffic in the State; and (C) to develop a system of metrics to measure the adequacy of commercial motor vehicle parking facilities in the State. (2) Results.--The results of the survey under paragraph (1) shall be made available to the public on the website of the Department of Transportation. (3) The Secretary shall periodically update the survey under this subsection.” To update the evaluation of the capability of the States to provide adequate parking and rest facilities for commercial motor vehicles engaged in interstate transportation, FHWA has developed a truck parking survey for you to complete regarding your experiences with truck parking. You may have participated in the inaugural survey, and again, this is an update as required by law. To complete the survey please click on this link: Jason's Law Drivers The survey should only take about five to seven minutes to complete. NOTE – this survey asks about locations where you have had difficulty finding parking. Please develop a list or think through these locations prior to starting the survey so that you can more easily input this information without having to stop the survey. Also, you may receive this survey from multiple outlets, but please only fill it out once. The information collected will be used by the USDOT to report the results of the Survey and Comparative Assessment required under section 1401(c) of MAP-21. It will also be used to provide information on the capability of the States to provide adequate truck parking and rest opportunities for commercial motor vehicles involved in interstate transportation, and to develop metrics that measure the adequacy of truck parking facilities in each State. Responses will be directly reflected in the findings that FHWA intends to publish on the web site. A prompt response is requested. Please reply no later than <Insert Date (date should be two weeks from the sent date)>. If you have any questions regarding the survey, please feel free to contact me. Also, please feel free to forward the survey link to other drivers that may be interested. Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation. Insert Signature of OOIDA representative
