Bill > HJR6

This concurrent resolution requests the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to conduct a comprehensive study on the need for expanded tractor-trailer parking along the I-66 and I-95 corridors, particularly in Prince William County. The resolution acknowledges a national safety concern regarding truck parking shortages and the local challenges of trucks parking in residential and mixed-use areas, which obstruct community development plans. The study will assess the growing parking needs, evaluate potential locations and land capacity, consider stakeholder input from local governments and the trucking industry, and estimate projected expansion costs. VDOT is required to complete its meetings by November 30, 2026, and submit an executive summary and report to the Governor and General Assembly by the first day of the 2027 Regular Session, with all state agencies required to provide assistance as needed. The resolution highlights the critical role of commercial vehicles in local and regional economies and the need to provide dedicated parking facilities near major freight corridors.
