Streetline has deployed its Truck Parking Information Management System and ParkerTruck mobile app along Interstate 5 in Washington state in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Transportation, while also launching a public-private partnership pilot model aimed at helping states roll out similar systems with no upfront cost.

The I-5 deployment is designed to provide truck drivers with real-time and predictive parking availability information across one of the busiest freight corridors in the U.S. The company said the system helps drivers identify safe truck parking options up to four hours in advance.

Washington I-5 Deployment

The WSDOT system uses AI-enabled cameras and machine learning to monitor truck entries and exits at rest areas, calculate occupancy in real time, and distribute availability data through:

  • Digital highway signs

  • A 511 traveler information system

  • The ParkerTruck mobile application

Streetline said the system is intended to support safer rest planning, reduce illegal shoulder parking, and cut unnecessary idling.

“Every truck driver knows the daily stress of exhausting their operating hours and finding a safe place to park,” said Bill Aboudi, president of AB Trucking, a small drayage carrier. “It gives peace of mind and helps carriers operate more efficiently while keeping our drivers safe.”

The company said the I-5 deployment builds on a recent truck parking availability system project along Interstate 10 in California and Arizona as part of a multistate corridor effort.

Public-Private Partnership Pilot Model for Truck Parking Information

Alongside the I-5 deployment, Streetline announced what it described as the nation’s first public-private partnership model for truck parking information management systems and truck parking availability systems.

Under the model, Streetline will design, deploy, operate, and validate systems at no cost during an initial evaluation period. At the end of the pilot, agencies can choose whether to adopt the system based on the results or end the trial without financial obligation.

“States have been asking for a way to move faster on truck parking solutions without increasing budget pressure or procurement risk,” said Taso Zografos, CEO of Streetline. “This low-risk P3 model changes the equation.”

Streetline said the platform is designed to integrate with existing state DOT infrastructure, including dynamic message signs and 511 systems, while offering:

  • Per-space real-time availability using camera-based AI

  • Predictive analytics to improve trip planning and reduce parking search time

  • Support for hours-of-service compliance

  • Scalable architecture for integration with third-party mobility platforms

  • Performance metrics agencies can independently verify

Streetline said it is now seeking state DOTs and related agencies to participate in the first wave of pilot deployments.
