The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) invites you to share your unique experiences as a professional truck driver in Alaska. We are conducting a statewide survey to learn more about parking availability, rest areas, and staging facility needs along key freight corridors. Your feedback is vital to identifying where improvements are most needed to enhance safety, support efficient freight movement, and help drivers comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Hours of Service regulations.
As you complete the survey, please distinguish between optional shortstops (such as quick bathroom breaks or refueling) and mandatory federally required rest breaks (including the 30-minute break required after 8 hours of driving). At the end of the survey, you’ll also could pinpoint specific locations on a map where truck parking is limited, unsafe, or necessary.
This survey should take around 5–10 minutes to complete and we want to thank you in advance for contributing your insights. Your input will directly inform planning and investment decisions to improve Alaska’s truck parking system.

- Provide data-driven insights that ATA can use to advocate for better policies and resources.
- Influence national research priorities by ensuring Alaska’s voice is represented in ATRI’s findings.
- Support smarter decision-making for safety, operations, and legislative engagement.
