Minneapolis Unveils New Parking Program

Let's say you're a business traveler, and you're rushing to the airport, already late for your flight. The last thing you want to do is waste a bunch of time looking for a parking space. Minneapolis Airport is trying to solve this problem with its new eParkElite service.

The new service guarantees its members spots that are open and only about a minute away from the terminal. It also promises to save time - a transmitter placed on the dash records entrances and exits so members are automatically charged for parking, so no time is wasted getting tickets or paying with cash/credit.

I like this idea - it does sound like it can make life easier for many. It's $95/month, along with a one-time activation fee of $20. Regular parking rates apply.
