Redmond Airport aims to curb frustration at the curb with free parking for first half-hour in its main lot

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Just in time for Fourth of July holiday week travelers, the Redmond Municipal Airport announced Monday the immediate implementation of complimentary parking for the first 30 minutes in the main parking lot to reduce road and curbside congestion.

"This complimentary parking provides convenient options for pick-up and drop-off of passengers and will apply to all spots in the main parking lot," but not to the credit card only lot, the airport said.

“We are excited to offer free 30-minute parking in our main lot to help reduce curb congestion," Airport Director Zachary Bass said, "It also allows customers to greet friends and family when they arrive and accompany those travelers who may need a little extra assistance to the terminal.”

However, the airport again stressed, "The curb at the terminal is for active loading and unloading only, due to federal regulations - no parking or waiting is allowed."

The revised Airport Main Lot parking fees:

• FREE up to 30 minutes
• $1.00 for 31 minutes to 60 minutes
• $2.00 for each additional hour (and any part thereof)
• The maximum parking rate is $24.00 a Day

The airport terminal is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Boarding lounge amenities include a children’s play area, Nursing Room, a free book exchange, a coffee/gift shop, a family-friendly restaurant, and a full-service bar (located post-security).
