Airport Parking Revenue Increases (at Pittsburgh International Airport); More Users, Higher Rates Credited
November 13, 2010 - Tom Fontaine/Pittsburgh Tribune Review - Pittsburgh International Airport's parking revenue is taking off, thanks to increased passenger traffic, recent rate increases and the expansion of long-term lots near the landside terminal.
Rate increases that took effect in June have played a role in increasing revenues. All-day rates went from $21 to $24 in short-term lots and from $11 to $12 in long-term lots.
But the biggest factor, said authority Executive Director Brad Penrod, is the increasing number of passengers. He said long-term lots have sold out 82 times this year, versus 21 times last year.
Officials reported Friday that Pittsburgh's passenger traffic was up 5.9 percent in September compared to September 2009, the sixth straight year-over-year gain. The only longer period of growth in the 2000s was a 17-month stretch ending the month of the 9/11 attacks. That ushered in a bleak period lasting until April, when year-over-year traffic improved just nine times. Read More.

Green Lot Reopened at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)
November 9, 2010 - Jaclyn Trop / The Detroit News - Travelers can now park at Detroit Metro Airport for as little as $8 a day, just in time for the busy holiday season. The airport's Green Lot, which closed in November 2008 amid a soft market for air travel, reopened Monday as the cheapest (on-airport)airport parking option.
The 1,400-space surface lot serves the North and McNamara terminals through airport shuttle service. Prices at the Green Lot, $10 daily before the lot was shuttered, could rise depending on demand, said Wayne County Airport Authority spokesman Scott Wintner.
This marks the second price drop for airport parking in six months. In June, the airport cut prices at the Big Blue Deck and the surface Yellow Lot to $10 from $16 and $11, respectively. Read the full article at Detroit News.

Tinicum Residents Battle Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) Expansion in Order to Keep Their Homes (With Video)
November 7, 2010 - Daily Times - By PAUL LUCE - In August, the Federal Aviation Administration released its final environmental impact statement regarding plans to enhance capacity and runways at Philadelphia International Airport, located largely in Tinicum. According to airport officials, the capacity enhancement plan would ultimately shave 14.1 minutes off the average delay per operation by 2025.
Estimated to cost $5.35 billion, the plan would require the acquisition of 72 housing units in Tinicum that are east of Fourth Avenue, between Seminole and Iroquois streets. The plan would displace about 80 businesses, affecting an estimated 3,515 employees. It would also result in significant noise impacts to 330 housing units, which would warrant mitigation measures.

Municipal Parking Facilities Buck National Trend
November 5, 2010 - MuniNet Guide - The National Parking Association recently released its third annual report entitled, “Parking in America,” a survey of the parking industry in the United States and Canada.

Not surprisingly, parking revenues have not been sheltered from the recession, according to the survey. Parking facilities that were hit the hardest were those in and near airports, with 56 percent of on-airport and 44 percent of off-airport facilities reporting a decrease in revenues from the 2009 survey.

Hands-On Airport Searches National Rollout of Invasive Pat-Downs This Week
October 26, 2010 - Boston Herald - Airline passengers nationwide will be subjected to new aggressive and controversial body searches likened to “foreplay” pat-downs under the expansion of a program tested at Logan International Airport.
Beginning Friday, the Transportation Security Administration will start using the new front-of-the-hand, slide-down screening technique for passengers at all 450 of the nation’s commercial airports.
The more invasive pat-downs - which include over-the-clothes searches of passengers’ breast and genital areas - have raised privacy issues among civil liberties advocates. TSA screeners previously used pat-down hand motions to search passengers, switching to the backs of their hands when covering sensitive areas such as the torso. Read More.
