Long-haul commercial drivers travelling through the Lower Mainland can now utilize the newly opened North Surrey Truck Parking Facility, conveniently situated near Highway 17 (South Fraser Perimeter Road).

The site was chosen for its proximity to major Lower Mainland truck routes. The secured site has parking for 106 commercial trucks and includes facilities such as washrooms with showers, a sani-dump for drivers, and security measures, such as fencing, cameras and 24-hour security.

“Providing adequate parking facilities for commercial drivers to rest and recharge is vital to enhance safety in BC’s commercial trucking industry,” said Dave Earle, president and CEO, BC Trucking Association. “This is a great facility that I am confident will be extensively used. I am also pleased to hear that the Province is exploring additional parking options for commercial vehicles as it improves the Highway 1 corridor through the Fraser Valley.”

BCTA will continue to work with the Province to address parking challenges throughout BC.
