National Association of Truck Stop Owners
The National Association of Truck Stop Operators is a Washington-based trade association of 1500 members belonging to the travel plaza and truck stop industries. The organization lobbies the United States federal and local government for laws favorable to their members. It was formerly called the National Association of Truck Stop Operators.
Notably, NATSO supports the ban of commercialization in state-sanctioned service plazas along toll-free roads, the establishment of the Interstate Oasis program, the continued federal ownership of the highway system and greater transparency on the pricing procedure of credit card fees.
NATSO has published the bimonthly Stop Watch magazine since 2011.
