The road is our workplace

The road is our workplace. A lack of safe places to park means that it is very difficult to check our loads and get the rest we need to stay sharp behind the wheel.

We don’t want to “drive tired”. Help support long-haul drivers in our call for more parking and a provincial plan to address the shortage.

We demand:

  1. Immediate action should be taken by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to begin to resolve the parking shortage.
  2. Set targets for new truck parking.
  3. Priority for added parking, particularly at ONroute Service Centres.

See more from the Summary Report for a Study of Long-Haul Truck Parking & Rest Areas and Asleep at the Wheel: A critique of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation Response to SPR’s 2018 Highway Truck Parking Study and an Action Plan for Discussion.
