RDU Passport Makes Parking Easier
Raleigh-Durham (RDU), my home airport, has initiated a new program for folks like me who use their close-in parking decks (still a reasonable $10/day). It’s a keycard like one would use to get in and out of a place of business, and they call it the RDU Passport.
Once you apply online for the Passport, giving them two credit cards and all your other particulars, an in-person visit to the RDU Parking office is required to validate the thing. But aside from that relatively tiny nuisance, it’s a joy to have. Here’s how it works to save me time:
On entering the parking deck, I simply wave the card at a card reader, and it knows who I am and notes the day and time. The gate opens (no ticket needed), and I park.
On leaving the parking deck there is a special RDU Passport lane at which I again wave the card, and the time and date of my departure are noted. The gate then opens.
Later I receive an email receipt that shows how much I was charged with details for T&E reporting.
I highly recommend it if you travel in and out of RDU and use the main parking decks.
