Pasco is making moves to better accommodate truck drivers while maintaining organized development within city limits.

As of late January, Pasco property owners in business and industrial districts can establish overnight truck parking lots, providing needed rest areas for the truck drivers who keep our supply chains running smoothly.

There are some regulations to the new overnight truck parking lot that Pasco business owners need to be aware of:

Location: At least 250 feet away from residential areas, parks, and schools

Accessibility: Easy access to major highways

Maximum lot size: 15 acres

Security measures: Fencing, adequate lighting, an automatic gate, and security cameras

Basic amenities: Single-occupancy bathrooms and a water fountain or bottle filler

For larger lots, additional features may be required to enhance driver comfort, such as pet relief areas, vending machines, picnic spaces, showers, or laundry facilities.

I love this new policy for our truckers and the City of Pasco is stepping up and doing a great thing with this new overnight truck parking ordinance - you can read more about it below
