Why are so many rest stops closed?
I'm heading west from NC on my way to Los Angeles along I-40. I've noticed that about 30% of the rest stops are closed. Why is that? Is it because of budget cuts, restoration, abuses by travelers? ...

Lots seems to be based on the states financial situation. In oregon, luckily we had and still have good rest stops with only a few closed in the last decade. Washington also seems to have good rest stops, few closed. Idaho good rest stops. Montana, good stops ON the interstate system, not many off.
Utah seems to be either closing stops or moving them to nearby truck stops so the truck stop is also the rest stop. Downside is that many are now a few miles off the road.
California seems to have fewer stops and more closed.
