DFW Int. Airport Set to Introduce New Parking Plazas

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport will launch its new parking control plazas on 26 August 2013.

The new plaza experience will come with self-service lanes, discounts for TollTag users, and an all-around faster experience at the airport.

DFW will be removing a piece of its history to keep up with the times. Built in 1973, the parking plazas have run every single day for almost 40 years.

“We are taking an important step to improve the customer experience by adding more lanes and reducing wait times to enter and exit the Airport,” said Jeff Fegan, CEO of DFW Airport. “The new Parking Control System will allow many more lanes to operate because they are automated, and that will mean a better experience for a great majority of our customers.”

This new process will automate trips to and from DFW Airport, especially for NTTA TollTag customers. For the fastest transaction, all a visitor has to do is log on to their NTTA account online and opt in for DFW; they then do not have to pull a ticket when the enter the airport. This can be especially helpful for those who like a shortcut when driving to a Rangers game, for example.

Tthose that choose to use a North Texas Toll Authority (NTTA) TollTag will enjoy a faster experience and will save $2 per day on terminal parking and $1 when passing through the airport.

No TollTag? Drivers can secure a TollTag from a variety of retail establishments in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, or they can still use a credit/debit card or cash for their transaction.

Upon exiting, credit/debit card customers can take the ticket to any lane. Lanes marked credit card or TollTag will provide the fastest transaction. Cash customers will simply use the left lanes marked “Cash” to complete their transaction. Only exiting cash lanes will have a customer service representative while all other lanes will be fully automated and self-serve.

The legacy parking control plazas will come down over the next several months with overnight construction.

DFW, Dallas
