Tri-Cities Airport Parking Now Cashless and With a Slight Price Increase

It wasn't too long ago that Yakima's airport updated it's parking lot payment and now Tri-Cities has changed theirs slightly but just enough that it may cause some issues, especially those who prefer to pay with cash.

The Tri-Cities Airport (PSC) has updated its parking lot so it's now completely cashless.

There was a path you could exit to pay the attendant in cash or simply opt for the cashless card-only exit (which is the exit I always took) but now the attendants, instead of sitting in a booth all day, are available in the parking lot to fulfill any needs you many have.

There are many who aren't happy with this change.

According to Apple Valley News Now 96% of parking lot payment uses a credit card.

Like before, you'll take a ticket when entering the long-term lot and keep that ticket handy as you'll use it when you leave, calculating how many days you were gone. I'm especially excited because of the new card systems. The old one, I never knew which way to slide my card in. This one looks more updated and streamline.

Not a huge price increase, but they're also upping the payment from $10 to $12 a day. That's still not as much as Yakima's airport going from $10 to $15 a day.

There will still be parking lot attendants available, but they mentioned they'll be in the parking lot directly helping you with any issues you may have.

True story: one time I was parked at the Tri-Cities airport for about a week and accidentally left my domelight on. Well, as you can imagine, my battery was drained by the time I got back but they had someone on site who helped me get my battery working again so I could make it home.

The service I've received at the Tri-Cities airport has always been fantastic for me. I'll fly again via PSC sooner than later.
