Officials including Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo and State Transportation Commissioner Matt Driscoll opened a new smart phone lot today at the Greater Rochester International Airport.
It’s the first part of the airport revitalization plan to be completed…and it gives drivers a place to wait while the people they’re coming to meet at the airport get off their planes and collect their luggage. It has free parking spots, free wi-fi and a drive-in-movie size screen that displays arriving flight information.
Officials say waiting there until you get a text that your loved one is in the pickup zone is safer than driving endlessly around the airport loop.
