Strategy Selection Approach A step-by-step approach that airport operators and others can follow to select strategies to manage or resolve constrained airport parking is presented in this section. The approach consists of three phases: • Initial filtering phase -- A qualitative evaluation of strategies to eliminate strategies from further consideration; • Alternatives analysis phase -- A rigorous, analytic evaluation of strategies; and • Comparative analysis phase -- A comparison of viable alternatives to identify the best solution for the airport operator.

From page 64... ... Steps 9 through 11 should provide sufficient differentiation among the viable alternatives for an airport operator to make a final selection of a preferred strategy or package of strategies to manage or resolve parking constraints. Strategy Selection Example An example of the strategy selection process based on a theoretical airport parking scenario follows. Read the entire page →

Daily rate = X Hourly rate = 0.2X Remote surface parking with shuttle bus is 60% of airport-operated parking supply (0.6Y) Daily rate = 0.75X Privately Operated Parking Supply Multiple facilities with shuttle service Supply is 30% of airport-operated public parking supply (0.3Y) Read the entire page →
From page 68... ... Potential Strategies The following strategies were identified for consideration in resolving the constrained parking problem at the theoretical airport. • Strategy A1: Adjust Rates, Traditional -- Increase the maximum daily rate in the garage to make the daily rate in the remote lot more attractive to price-sensitive customers using terminal area parking.

From page 69... ... The initial determination was that the strategy would preserve spaces for customers who value parking in the garage the most, but it would not reduce garage closures or the need for extra personnel. Initial Filtering Phase Summary As follows, the remaining strategies will be carried through to the alternatives analysis phase to predict parking-related outcomes and assess their suitability to achieve the targeted results: • Strategy A1: Adjust Rates, Traditional; • Strategy A2: Adjust Rates, Differential; • Strategy B: Relocate Employee Parking; • Strategy D: Introduce Valet Parking; and • Strategy F: Introduce Technology Improvements, APGS.

From page 70... ... This strategy would achieve 100% of the targeted results for garage closures and 74% of the targeted results for the number of days extra personnel would be needed; thus, this strategy would achieve the threshold results. • Strategy A2: Adjust Rates, Differential -- Application of this strategy would not change the daily rate for customers parking in the garage for up to 3 days.

From page 71... ... The airport operator does not have data on the number of vehicle trips generated during constrained events as the result of vehicles traveling from the closed parking facility to the terminal curbside, remote parking, and privately operated parking, but the average net daily vehicle trips on the airport roadway system would increase 1.2%. This increase would not result in an unacceptable level of service on the airport roadway system. Read the entire page →

In this theoretical example, the airport operator does not have data on the number of vehicle trips generated during constrained events as the result of vehicles traveling from the closed parking facility to the terminal curbside, remote parking, or privately operated parking facilities, but estimates that the average net daily vehicle trips on the airport roadway system would decrease 0.2%.

From page 73... ... Return to Step 4 for Strategy Packages -- Project Outcomes of Strategies • Strategy Package 1 (Strategy A1: Adjust Rates, Traditional plus Strategy B: Relocate Employee Parking) -- By combining a traditional rate increase with elimination of half of the employee parking permits for the parking garage, this strategy package is estimated to eliminate garage closures and the need for extra personnel to manage the garage because implementation of the strategy package would resolve the constraint.

From page 74... ... In this theoretical example, the airport operator does not have data on the number of vehicle trips generated during constrained events as a result of vehicles traveling from the closed parking facility to the terminal curbside, remote parking, and privately operated parking, but estimates that the average net daily vehicle trips on the airport roadway system would increase 0.8%, but the level of service on the airport roadway system would not decrease.

From page 75... ... Strategy B, Relocate Employee Parking, was ranked as the most desirable strategy from a customer service standpoint, because management has ranked customer service for airline passengers as more important than customer service for employees. The airport operator ranked Strategy Package 2 as the worst for customer service because, even though fewer customers would be subject Strategy Achieves Targeted Results ? Read the entire page →
From page 76... ... The airport operator believes that, from a public relations standpoint, it will be easier to relocate employees if the effects of resolving the problem are shared between employees and airline passengers. If the airport operator is concerned about customer service impacts or vehicle trip generation with the 25% rate increase, it could analyze Strategy Package 1 with a lower parking rate increase to determine if the targeted results could be achieved.
