Parking is important for airports. More than 70 percent of airline passengers and visitors at most airports use private vehicles to access the airport, and public parking is an important contributor to an airport’s finances and revenues, frequently representing the largest source of non-aeronautical revenues at most airports.

The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Synthesis 118: Airport Parking Pricing Strategies provides information airport staff and others require to select and to implement a rate-making strategy that serves the airport’s needs.
