This week, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced that real-time trucking parking information for truckers traveling on I-10 is now available on the ADOT website and mobile app.
I-10 Truck Parking Availability System information is now available on az511.gov and the AZ511 app, officials announced on Wednesday.
The I-10 Parking Availability System launched in January 2025 with electronic signs alerting truckers to rest area parking spaces ahead. The system provides real-time information on how many truck parking spaces are available at I-10 rest areas in western and southeastern Arizona with a goal of helping truckers find safe and legal parking.
Truckers can access the parking information by visiting the Arizona Traveler Information website, az511.gov, or the AZ511 app, and by enabling the rest area layer.

ADOT also provided an update on other statewide efforts to improve parking for truckers traveling through Arizona:
“The Truck Parking Availability System is part of a $13.7 million initiative spearheaded by the I-10 Corridor Coalition, through which Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas promote safer and more efficient travel for both people and freight. The funding includes a $6.85 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The system provides truck drivers with information on more than 550 parking spots across California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
It’s part of a larger ADOT effort to provide more truck parking around the state. The Statewide Truck Implementation Parking Plan has proposed 842 parking spaces that include existing expanded parking at rest areas and three new lots for truck parking. That plan includes $32 million in funding to add 370 spaces at I-10 Burnt Wells Rest Area near Tonopah, I-40 Meteor Crater Rest Area near Winslow and a new at I-10 and State Route 186 west of Willcox.
ADOT has expanded truck parking at two rest areas since 2019, nearly doubling truck parking by adding 56 spaces to the Meteor Crater Rest Area on I-40 between Flagstaff and Winslow, along with adding 38 new spaces to the Haviland Rest area on I-40 west of Kingman.
According to a poll conducted in 2020 by the I-10 Corridor Coalition, 78% of truck drivers spend more than 30 minutes seeking safe parking. The lack of safe parking can lead to many drivers parking on shoulders, ramps or other undesignated areas.“
