FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PORTLAND, ORE. (Oct. 15, 2012) – PDX Long-term Parking Garage Rate Increases Oct. 29

Long-term parking garage rates at Portland International Airport will increase $2 per day beginning Oct. 29. All other airport parking rates remain the same.

Long-term daily maximum rates will increase to $18 per day. The increase applies to vehicles that enter the garage on or after Oct. 29. Vehicles parked in the garage before Oct. 29 will pay the current rate when exiting.

Revenues raised by PDX parking fees support future airport parking and transportation improvements, such as parking and roadway expansion and maintenance, and shuttle bus purchases, operations and maintenance. In part, the rate increase will also encourage more use of the airport’s economy parking lots, easing demand on the long-term parking garage, which is often at capacity mid-week.

All other PDX parking options remain at current prices, including economy parking lots at $10 per day with the seventh day free; short-term garage, $24 per day; and Gold Key Valet, $30 per day. Rates for parking spaces for people with disabilities remain $10 per day, and parking for motorcycles and bicycles remain free. Hourly parking rates in all lots remain $3 per hour.
