Safe Truck Parking Expands Across PA

PennDOT has opened 339 new truck parking spaces at 24 locations across Pennsylvania, giving CDL drivers more legal and safe places to stop, rest, and stay compliant with HOS regulations. This is part of PennDOT’s plan to add over 1,200 spaces by the end of 2026.
