Tucson Airport new automated parking revenue system

The Tucson Airport Authority is improving installation of the infrastructure for a new automated parking revenue system that replaces the system at all Tucson International Airport (TIA) public parking lots.

Pay-on-foot machines are installed outside the TIA terminal baggage claim, and near the elevators inside the parking garage. The machines will accept credit and debit cards and are designed to facilitate faster exits from the TAA parking lots.

“In addition to the four pay-on-foot machines, we will have automated pay stations at the exit lanes in all the airport parking lots,” explained Fred Brinker, TAA Senior Director of Planning & Development.

“Airport visitors will now be able to pay for their parking in advance using the pay-on-foot machines or by using the automated parking lot exits. Both the main terminal and economy parking lots will continue to have a cashier for those visitors who prefer completing their transaction in person or need assistance.”

The project includes new roadway signage that will more clearly identify the parking options available and inform customers in advance if certain lots are full.

“The Tucson Airport Authority operates four parking lots and customer service and convenience are our top priority,” said Bonnie Allin, TAA President/CEO. “These enhancements are a reflection of our commitment to better serving our customers.”

Other changes for Tucson airport parking include:

• Park’N Save and Park’N Save Covered become Economy and Economy Covered; Short-Term becomes Hourly; Long-Term becomes Daily;Garage remains Garage; Phone and Go becomes Cell Phone Waiting.
• The $2.4 million project is being funded by airport revenues. The entire project is expected to be complete and operational by mid-Fall.

TIA Expands Aircraft Parking Apron

Tucson Airport Authority (TAA) expanded the Tucson International Airport (TIA) commercial aircraft parking apron.

This improvement has been designed to offer airline tenants accommodations for an additional 44,000 square yards for commercial aircraft maneuvering and overnight parking adjacent to the existing aircraft parking apron.

The $8 million project was designed by Stantec Consulting and was being constructed by Granite Construction Company. The project, funded by Federal Aviation Administration and Arizona Department of Transportation grants, was completed in the spring of 2010.

TAA has also launched several other infrastructure projects designed to meet future demand, including 60 acres southeast of the airfield reserved for industrial development with airfield access; improvements to Aero Park Blvd. that will support new business development on the south side of the airport; and at Ryan Airfield, improvements to the airport main entrance roadway, Airfield Drive.
