PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PUBLIC PARKING RATE ADJUSTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a parking rate adjustment for the public parking facilities
at the Palm Springs International Airport which would change the daily maximum rate from $7.00 per day
to $8.00 per day.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Standard Parking agreement for overall airport parking management responsibilities,they are
required to periodically prepare and submit to the City reports concerning the performance of the parking
services. Airport staff requested Standard Parking provide an analysis of the current parking rate structure
at Palm Springs International Airport(PSP) and met to discuss the proposed rate adjustments. Previously,
Airport staff and the Airport Commission had recognized the need to review fee schedules at the airport on
a periodic basis (every 2 years). The following recommendations for parking fee adjustments were
presented to the Airport Commission on November 5, 2003:
PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Current Recommendation
First '/z hour $ 1.00 $ 1.00 (stays the same)
Each addnl. hour $ 1.00 $ 2.00 (increased $1.00)
Daily Rate $ 7.00 $ 8.00 (increased $1.00)
Standard Parking looked at other airports in the regions and found the proposed rates at PSP to be
competitive. For comparison purposes Ontario International Airport's parking rates are as follows:
ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Short Term
Each ''/z hour $1.00
Daily Maximum $28.00
Long Term (no hourly rates)
Terminal Lot $12.00 per day
Remote Lot $9.00 per day
After much discussion regarding the need to increase revenues in order to maintain a high level of service,
the Airport Commission was in favor of the daily rate increase from $7.00 to $8.00, but did not approve the
recommendation to increase each additional hour of parking from$1.00 to$2.00. The Commission directed
staff to do additional research regarding the hourly rate adjustment and to look at other possible alternatives
and bring that information back to the Commission at a later date.

Public Parking Rate Adjustment

The public parking lot is one the primary sources of non-airline revenue received at the airport bringing in
approximately$1.1 million dollars annually. The proposed increase in the maximum daily rate is anticipated
to bring in an additional amount in excess of$100,000 annually.
With the growth of the Palm Springs International Airport, additional revenue is needed to further enhance
services and pay for Maintenance & Operations cost.
If approved, the new parking rates will become effective as of December 1, 2003.
