Just Published by ACRP! A Guidebook for Evaluating Airport Parking

Strategies Jacobs Consultancy is pleased to announce the release of Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 24: Guidebook for Evaluating Airport Parking Strategies and Supporting Technologies. This Guidebook describes a broad range of strategies and supporting technologies used by the operators of airports and other public parking facilities to provide a high level of customer service, enhance parking revenues, improve operational efficiencies, and achieve other relevant management objectives. It describes each strategy, how they are used by customers, their costs and benefits, and key implementation considerations. The Guidebook is intended to help airport management compare parking strategies and determine which are best suited to achieve their specific objectives.

As used in this Guidebook, the term "parking strategy" refers to the entire spectrum of parking products, valued-added services, rates and rate structures, safety and security features, and the techniques used to control parking revenue, promote operational efficiency, manage capacity, and balance facility use. Technologies refers to parking access and revenue control systems, ticket and ticketless payment systems, vehicle detection and guidance systems, parking reservation systems, and other equipment. Jacobs Consultancy is proud to have led this research and served as the principal author of the Guidebook. PDF copies of this guidebook can be obtained here.

Should you have any questions about this Guidebook, please contact Peter Mandle or Gavin Duncan at 650-579-7722 or peter.mandle@jacobs-consultancy.com or gavin.duncan@jacobs-consultancy.com.
