ParkPro, a national provider of commercial truck parking solutions, announced today the launch of a new feature that allows commercial drivers to vote on priority locations for new truck parking.
Available for free on ParkPro’s web platform and app, the tool allows drivers to view hundreds of underutilized parking facilities on an interactive map and request specific sites be formally opened based on demand.
“This tool allows drivers to signal where parking is needed now so we can respond quickly,” said Tra Williams, CEO of ParkPro. “As agencies continue to study the issue, drivers face real-world impacts, spending hours searching for parking, risking safety, and falling behind on delivery schedules, which can often affect their pay. We need to improve support for today’s drivers while long-term truck parking solutions are being developed.”
The launch of ParkPro’s voting feature comes as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration prepares to survey the benefits of building new truck parking spaces nationwide. Through ParkPro’s network of hundreds of secure, pre-vetted properties across the United States, and without the need for expensive, time-consuming parking projects, drivers can use the tool to request expedited availability of parking.
