CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – The City of Charlotte has unveiled a new online tool to assist truck drivers in locating legal parking throughout the city.
City officials say the Commercial Truck Parking Tool is designed to provide truck drivers with convenient and reliable information to find safe, authorized parking locations.
Available via app and desktop, it offers several key features to support the trucking community:
- Searchable Parking Lots: Drivers can easily find available, legal, and safe parking lots by entering an address or using their current location.
- Parking Lot Availability Survey: Parking lot owners can submit their information to be included in the tool, detailing costs and amenities such as gates, showers, and security features.
- Truck Parking Ordinances: It outlines Charlotte’s local truck parking regulations, including fines and penalties for violations.
- Interactive Heat Map: A real-time map highlights commercial truck parking violations across Charlotte, helping drivers avoid high enforcement areas and locate authorized parking spaces. This feature also helps residents stay informed about commercial vehicle activity in their neighborhoods.
This tool is the latest resource developed by the City of Charlotte’s Quality of Life team, which works to address top community priorities such as illegal parking. The N.C. Department of Transportation also has placed signage at several exit areas in recent years off Interstate 85 forbidding truck parking.
