| Summary: | A cell phone lot is typically a free parking lot at an airport that allows greeters to park temporarily until a traveler is available for pickup. These lots can assist airport operators in managing curbs and they keep greeters from waiting in unsafe areas on airport roads. However, there is a question about whether the benefits of a cell phone lot outweigh the operating and maintenance costs and foregone revenues. The objective of the synthesis was to shed light on current airport practices to size, locate, develop, manage, and maintain cell phone lots. This synthesis included a literature review and Internet research; an Internet search of the top 110 airports in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems, including social media comments about cell phone lots; an online survey of airports representing diverse geography and airport size; and follow-up telephone interviews with survey participants. The chapters examine the ways that airports address cell phone lots as an important component of ground access and how different airports operators have implemented a cell phone lot strategy that fits within their business models. |
