The Kansas City Aviation Department has raises parking rates effective May 1

The new parking rates will include a $1 per-day increase to the maximum daily rate in Garage Parking and a fifty-cent per day increase to the maximum daily rate for Circle and Economy lots. The hourly accrual rates do not change.

“While we regularly review our parking rates, this represents our first rate increase since 2012,” said Katy Sell, manager of parking services. “We have increasing capital and maintenance costs that need to be incorporated into the price so we can maintain the quality of services and facilities that our customers have grown to expect. This includes two new low-emission compressed natural gas buses at $410,000 each this budget year and three more in the new budget year May 1.”
