A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a thorough and comprehensive study on truck parking in Pennsylvania and provide recommendations to effectively address this issue.
HR 20 is a House Resolution directing Pennsylvania's Joint State Government Commission to study truck parking shortages. It requires the Commission to analyze challenges, identify high-demand areas, examine solutions from other states, and develop recommendations to expand parking capacity within 12 months. The study will specifically address the shortage of approximately 4,400 truck parking spaces, which leaves about 1,000 trucks parked on highway shoulders nightly. This resolution affects truck drivers, transportation systems, and communities by focusing on safety, congestion, and infrastructure needs. It does not enact new law but will inform future policy decisions.
