Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) will promote initiatives aimed at alleviating congestion in airport parking lots.
Due to a decrease in the number of public transportation services, there is a growing trend of visitors traveling to airports by private car. As a result, severe congestion has been observed in parking lots at multiple airports. In response, for airports under national management, MLIT has presented a new operational policy for the government’s review of parking fees and will provide incentives to parking lot operators.
MLIT will promptly encourage the implementation of necessary congestion countermeasures based on four main pillars: demand control through pricing measures such as raising rates for long-stay parking and lowering short-term parking fees; implementation of congestion measures by operators; fundamental capacity expansion measures such as enlarging parking areas and constructing multi-story parking structures; and the use of parking-generated revenue to support congestion-relief projects undertaken by parties other than parking lot operators, such as initiatives to promote the use of public transportation.
