SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Truck Parking Initiative. 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0610. 

Background 

The shortage of long-term truck 

parking on the National Highway 

System (NHS) is a problem that needs 

to be addressed. It is nationally 

recognized that truck drivers frequently 

cannot find adequate, safe parking in 

order to obtain rest needed to comply 

with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations and ensure safety. Further, 

parking areas are often designed or 

maintained for short-term parking only, 

and as a result, allow parking for limited 

time periods. Section 1305 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) directed the 

Secretary of Transportation to establish 

a Pilot program to address the long-term 

parking shortages along the NHS. 

Eligible projects under Section 1305 

include: 

1. Promoting the real-time 

dissemination of publicly or privately 

provided commercial motor vehicle 

parking availability on the NHS using 

ITS and other means; 

2. Opening non-traditional facilities to 

commercial motor vehicle parking, 

including inspection and weigh 

stations, and park and ride facilities; 

3. Making capital improvements to 

public commercial motor vehicle 

parking facilities currently closed on a 

seasonal basis to allow the facilities to 

remain open year round; 

4. Constructing turnouts along the 

NHS to facilitate commercial motor 

vehicle access to parking facilities, and/ 

or improving the geometric design of 

interchanges to improve access to 

commercial motor vehicle parking 

facilities; 

5. Constructing commercial motor 

vehicle parking facilities adjacent to 

commercial truck stops and travel 

plazas; 

6. Constructing safety rest areas that 

include parking for commercial motor 

vehicles. 

It is the belief of FHWA that given the 

limited resources available, the broad 

dissemination of the availability of 

public or private long-term parking 

spaces provides the greatest opportunity 

to maximize the effectiveness of this 

pilot program. 

Guidelines and Administration 

To administer this program for fiscal 

years 2006 through 2009, the FHWA 

will collect information necessary to 

evaluate and rank projects. The 

information collection is intended to 

only address the project funding allotted 

through the program. 

1. The Administrator has determined 

that $5.385 million is available for 

grants in FY 2006 under Section 1305, 

after obligation limitations. 

2. Projects funded under this section 

shall be treated as projects on a FederalAid System under Chapter 1 of Title 23, 

U.S. Code. 

3. Grants may be funded at an 80 to 

100 percent funding level based on the 

criteria specified in Section 120 of Title 

23, U.S. Code. 

As soon as practicable, a Federal 

Register Notice will be published with 

information and guidance relating to the 

application process. Also, a solicitation 

letter will be sent to all FHWA Division 

Offices containing the same 

information. This information will also 

be posted on the FHWA Web site, 

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/. All 

applications must be submitted through 

a State Department of Transportation to 

FHWA’s Office of Freight Management 

and Operations, via the FHWA Division 

Office in the State in which the 

application was submitted. Awarded 

projects will be administered by the 

applicable State Department of 

Transportation as a Federal-aid grant. 

Information Proposed for Collection 

Information recommended under 

SAFETEA–LU and proposed for the 

current program includes the following: 

1. Project Description. The proposal 

should include a detailed project 

description, which would include the 

extent of the long-term truck parking 

shortage in the corridor/area to be 

addressed, along with contact
