Trucks Park Here Opening at Paxico Stop
The states are represented by the Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) a regional association under the umbrella of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. (Illinois and Missouri are MAASTO members but currently not participating in Trucks Park Here) The way the TPIMS works is by using roadside message boards, smartphone apps and traveler websites to transmit information on how many truck parking spaces are available. Road signs throughout the states will display the number of miles until the nearest rest stop, as well as how many spaces are open at that rest stop. The system covers corridors important to freight movement that stretch through the Midwest, including interstates 29, 70, 80, 90, 94 and 135. Kay Hendrix, Director of Safety for KMCA was at the opening ceremony to help cut the ribbon with Davonna Moore, KDOT, Catherine Patrick, KDOT and Rick Backlund, FHWA Director.
