Since the results of the big Jason’s Law parking report were released last month, I’ve been digging into state-to-state data included there. I’ll be reporting more on what I’ve found in the near future.

Meantime, as results current this morning from this poll probing the current extent of the parking problems nationally suggest, parking is a significant issue daily for most of you.

Where/in what states are your problems most pronounced? Answer the following question with up to three problem states to help guide my analysis of the federal survey data:

As for the federal study/survey, it looks at available truck parking in states through a few different statistical metrics.

2) California | 53.7 spaces per 100K VMT
**90.6 per 100 miles of NHS — rank: 14
**9.5% public spaces

3) Tennessee | 54.2 spaces per 100K VMT
**162.6 per 100 miles of NHS — rank: 34
**9.2% public spaces
