Abstract:As transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft drive a change in modern transport behaviors, fewer passengers
pay for services such as parking or commercial vehicle drop-off at airports, meaning that what once was a primary revenue
source for airports now has a tenuous future. Therefore, airports must find a way to counterbalance the revenue losses created by
these changes.
One such solution has been on the rise in Great Britain. With airport drop-off and pick-up charges, private vehicles must pay for
the convenience of loading or unloading passengers at the airport entrance. Not only does this practice have the potential to
generate millions of dollars in annual revenue, but it also offers a remedy for other maladies such as congestion and safety issues
on airport roads. This report examines the effects that drop-off and pick-up charges have had in Great Britain and explores what
US airports might expect should they too adopt the practice.
