Western New York Welcome Center

Just go use community room...thats why there..no one there has any authority to say otherwise.

Rest area for any loads, no waight limits

I dont remember seeing trailer parking, but the lot was basically empty the last time i went. You can try calling them to ask.

It is completely ridiculous .

There are two lots at the Western NY Welcome Center. One lot is for cars including electric cars (they have three CHAdeMO chargers there). The other lot is for trucks (i.e. Tractor Trailers). The nature of trucking as such that I would expect there to be no problem for a trucker to stop at the center and sleep overnight in the truck lot. Likewise I can't imagine that there would be a restriction for someone sleeping overnight in a small camper. That being said I don't know for sure. I have not seen any signs stating overnight stays are not permitted. I would suggest if you are staying overnight to stay in the truck lot rather than the cars lot. The center is open twenty-four hours a day, has a dog run area- very convenient for travelers- exceptionally clean bathrooms, vending machines, and restaurant/ retail for New York produced products (very broad variety!) that is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Yes, you can purchase an EZ-Pass from the visitors center. You can find also locate other ez-pass retail locations by visiting: https://www.thruway.ny.gov/ezpass/otg/mobile.html

Seems the hours are the same everyday if the week. Vending machines pass the bathrooms. I think this place is more a rest stop for travelers or truckers. Also, a port for electrical cars.

They have their rules and application on the website. The Community Room at the WNY Welcome Center can be reserved by local community groups or non-profit organizations on a first-come, first-serve basis. To apply for Community Room use, please fill out the Application for Use of the WNY Welcome Center Community Room. A submitted application does not constitute a guaranteed reservation. After approval, you will be contacted and put on the calendar. The Community Room is generally available for 1 hour increments although extensions are permissible if no other groups are waiting to use the room. You may not exceed occupancy of 12 people. Space may be reserved once per month and up to three months in advance to ensure fair availability to other groups and residents. No outside food or drinks allowed, please remove any trash or personal belongings when your time is completed. http://erie.cce.cornell.edu/resources/taste-ny-community-room-application-updated
