Starting October 1, visitors to the Waco Regional Airport will use the ParkMobile app to pay for parking in any of the three lots. The new parking fee is $5 per day, plus app fees, for the first year.
At 40% capacity, the fee is expected to bring in just over $400,000 in the first year.
Airport Manager James Harris told council Tuesday this measure is partially mandated by the FAA, which requires airports to make an effort towards self-reliance.
The council approved the measure as part of the consent agenda. Over the next month, airport staff will be adding signs to the parking areas with payment instructions.
A small lot will be reserved for short term parking of 2 hours or less.
