ODOT Unveils New Truck Parking Info System

wired.com

State transportation officials say a new system along three major roadways will make it easier for truck drivers to find safe parking. 

The Ohio Department of Transportation says the new Truck Parking Information Management System will provide real-time information about available parking spaces at nine Ohio rest areas on I-70, I-75, and U.S. Route 33.  Parking information will be displayed on digital highway signs and online to help truck drivers as they near the limit of their federally mandated hours of work.
