Parking Regulations

The NFTA Police Department is obligated to enforce the standards set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration, under the guidelines of the Federal Aviation Regulation 107, which clearly states: ALL UNATTENDED VEHICLES MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE FRONTAL AREA OF THE TERMINAL BULIDING. This area is only to be used for ACTIVELY loading and unloading of luggage and passengers. If an emergency should arise and you need to park directly in front of the terminal building, you must first contact a Police Officer who will authorize or provide you with a parking space. This area is clearly marked and should not be disputed with the Officer on duty. Remember that this Officer is only following directives. NOTE: You may notice a small parking lot located on the west end of the terminal building, this is a pre-paid lot for specified delivery vehicles, limousines and bus services only. Located in the Arrivals area are designated parking spaces for shuttle services.
