A new cell-phone-waiting parking lot will open Wednesday at Dane County Regional Airport, making the task of picking up arriving passengers much less of a hassle.
The parking lot, located off International Lane at the entrance to the airport, has 27 parking spaces for drivers to wait with their cars for a phone call from an arriving passenger. The new parking lot allows for drivers to refrain from circling around the airport loop and allows for easier pick-up when the passenger calls to say they are in front of the terminal.
Drivers must remain in their cars at all times in the new lot, and unattended vehicles could be ticketed and towed.
Drivers arriving at the airport still have the option of parking in the hourly parking lot across from the terminal. The first 15 minutes of parking in the hourly parking ramp are free of charge.
