# USDOT Funds $200M Truck Parking Expansion

On October 14, 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced **$200 million in INFRA funding** for 14 truck-parking expansion projects across 12 states. The funding commitments support freight-corridor safety, driver rest capacity, and supply-chain efficiency; they are not open solicitations. The project pipeline includes $24.5 million to expand and modernize commercial motor vehicle parking at six public rest areas along I-80 in Iowa and $11.95 million for a commercial motor vehicle parking area at the Port of Savannah in Georgia.

- Contractors should approach the recipient agencies and authorities about forthcoming design, construction, equipment, and related procurements; the federal funding announcement itself is not a bid opportunity.
- The awards indicate near-term project activity in truck parking and freight infrastructure across multiple states. Firms with relevant construction, site development, and equipment capabilities can assess the project locations and pursue opportunities as recipients advance their work.
- Iowa DOT and the Georgia Ports Authority are among the named entities tied to projects; companies can use these agency-level leads to identify potential procurement channels for the I-80 and Port of Savannah work.
