Introduced in House
The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
A $1.3 trillion funding package passed by the House contains $200 million specifically for new truck parking. The bill mandates that recipients of these grants cannot charge drivers for access to the spaces, a key provision of the bipartisan Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act.
Following the approval of $200 million in federal funding for truck parking in February 2026, states like Ohio and Indiana are moving forward with plans to add thousands of new spaces. The funding aims to address the safety crisis where only one parking spot exists for every 11 trucks.
