Parking affects passengers’ and visitors’ ability to access an airport and represents a large portion of an airport’s non-aeronautical revenue. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, July 24, 2023 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that presented key information that airport management will need to consider to implement a rate-making strategy for parking. Presenters explored different strategies for airport parking pricing, discussed which strategies might be suitable for different types of airports, and provided tools for airports to assess their own parking pricing schemes.

This webinar is based on ACRP Synthesis 118: Airport Parking Pricing Strategies.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.
