Parking at GRIA

 *RAMP GARAGE EXPANSION & ELEVATOR ACCESS*

As of November, 2009 the Greater Rochester International Airport is proud to announce that we have added 860 parking spots on our premises.  The ramp garage expansion is completed!  Using only funds earned from parking revenue, we now offer hundreds of additional covered parking spaces.  Several travelers have expressed the need for this over the past years.  The same parking rates apply.

 

As part of this program, the elevators in the original section of the ramp garage are being replaced.  Please note that a walkway & signage have been installed to direct you to a working elevator in the newly expanded section of the ramp garage. Thank you for your cooperation as we continute to upgrade our facility.

Cell Phone Lot

Rochester's cell phone lot not only provides convenient, free temporary parking to motorists waiting for arriving passengers, but also keeps traffic on the airport moving smoothly.  The lot allows drivers to wait until their arriving passengers disembark the aircraft, collect their bags and are ready to be picked up.  Vehicles waiting in the cell phone lot must be attended at all times.  According to TSA requirements, there is no parking or waiting allowed on the airport roadways at any time.  See below parking map for cell lot location.
