Published 2:28 pm Monday, April 3, 2017

As warmer weather signals the start of travel season, Redmond Municipal Airport is expected to be busy in the coming months, and airport officials are warning travelers that the airport parking lot may become completely full.

Instead of parking in the pay parking lot, an airport news release on Wednesday encouraged people to consider alternate options for getting to the airport during the 2017 travel season.

Such options include ride sharing, ground transportation services such as taxi service and vehicles for hire, recruiting friends or family for a ride, or other off-airport parking in legal areas, the release stated. Also, Super 8 motel in Redmond offers parking and shuttle services for a fee. More information can be found at www.aboutairportparking.com.
