DEMING – The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), in collaboration with the I-10 Corridor Coalition, is conducting a survey aimed at truck drivers and dispatchers to understand the challenges and issues related to parking along the I-10 corridor.

The I-10 Coalition is focused on providing truck drivers and dispatchers with real-time parking information for the I-10 route through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. By 2025, the Truck Parking Availability System (TPAS) will offer information on over 550 parking spaces at 37 public rest areas along I-10 across these states, helping drivers make informed decisions about safe parking.

We invite you to participate in our survey to help us design a system that meets your needs.

In New Mexico, truck drivers can now use electronic road signs and the state's 511 system to find available parking at all six rest areas along I-10, including the Lordsburg Welcome Centers (eastbound and westbound), Anthony and Gage rest areas (westbound), and the Yucca and Las Cruces rest areas (eastbound). Additionally, the state is working with app developers to incorporate truck parking information into various trucking apps.
