RAMP UP!

Work on the significantly improved parking facilities and terminal area has ramped up at Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Construction is underway.

The Ramp Up! signage has been designed to help you way-find when you arrive on the airport campus. Look for the red directional and advisory signs on airport roadways for project-related information and instructions.

The east half of the east long-term lot will be closed through July. This closure is necessary to allow for construction to continue on the Terminal Area and Parking Improvement Program.

During the construction period, visitors should look for directional signage located throughout airport roadways. Currently, short-term, long-term, and handicap parking instructions are as follows:

Short-term parking

• Limited-space, short-term parking is located at the east end of the terminal (look for signs)
• Overnight parking is prohibited in the short-term lot
• Hourly parking is available in all long-term lots, including the Express Shuttle lot

Long-term parking

• North Lot
• Express Shuttle Lot located on the north side of John J. Oostema Blvd. (one block east of Patterson Avenue)
• Shuttle service is required to and from all long-term lots

Handicap parking

A portion of every open lot will be devoted to handicap parking.

Short-term visitors are also encouraged to consider alternative options, such as:

• Curbside passenger drop-off and pick-up
• Cell phone parking lot -- a limited-space, free parking area for those waiting to pick up arriving passengers

Important considerations for travelers:

• All visitors parking in a long-term lot are required to take a shuttle to and from the terminal for safety reasons
• Travelers are strongly encouraged to allow for an additional 30 minutes to park, ride a shuttle and arrive at the terminal (beyond the recommended 90 minutes before your scheduled departure time).
