Certainly taxing for the use of the airport is ridiculous. Although I will continue to use the service instead of parking at the airport. Racketeering is all it is causing the problem so they can give the solution.

I thought this was a democracy and competition is always welcome?! Your trip fee goes against the principles of free enterprise. Is this the Soviet Socialist Republic of ARIZONA ?

Please reconsider this fee, it makes no sense. The airport parking is well used and this move will only to economic damage in the long run.

Why are you imposing a punitive tax on conscientious travelers who chose to aid in reducing traffic volume in an already congested airport by parking offsite. By using offsite parking we are essentially car-pooling to and from the terminals, supporting an eco-friendly policy. Please reconsider your revenue options which more fairly distribute the tax base to all airport visitors by imposing a toll, as mentioned by other petitioners. The toll concept will help divert commuter traffic away from airport roadways, and more fairly distribute the fee burden to all travelers and transportation options.

We park off airport property to ease airport congestion, if you raise the cost to consumers to park off property there is no benefit to doing it and this will increase congestion. Don't increase charges in shuttle busses. Other carriers are different they are not in the airport property that often.

Sky Harbor must allow competition, not destroy it. Very bad for business.

If I wanted to park onsite, I would. I don't. Why add to the already-hideous congestion within the airport?? This proposed fee is tantamount to creating a monopoly for the city of Phoenix. Play fair! Be happy that people WANT to park offsite. Besides, PHX parking fees are crappy. No additional fees for offsite parking companies!!

I have been using Preflight Parking at Sky Harbor Airport for over 20 years. Their service is always courteous, convenient and reasonably priced. Imposition of a per trip fee is unfair and unnecessary. No other mode of transportation is charged a per trip fee, nor do the Preflight buses cause any additional wear and tear to the airport than an ordinary automobile. I strongly oppose this fee, which is nothing more than an attempt to eliminate a successful competitor.

Off airport parking is for the benefit of the people who use SHA. It is especially helpful to senior citizens as well as all other age groups by cutting down on pollution, traffic and time. SHA if you charge this fee, I will still use the off airport parking, but will not support the vendors with purchases. I will not have enough money.

The trip tax is excessive and unfair. It borders ridiculous. Vehicles already pay a tax to drive on the road, and now you want to tax again. Maybe a toll road into the airport makes more sense. Consider .25 as a fair and reasonable 'token.'

Nooooo! we do NOT need a "trip fee". Off airport companies provide a valuable service & definitely pay their share of taxes & fees to support itself at a reasonable cost to customers.

It's expensive enough already to park offsite without adding more fees to these services. I totally rely on them for close, convenient and affordable parking. Please do not make travel anymore difficult than it already is.

If there is a fee it should be based on actual cost.

It is a great help to have off-airport parking near Sky Harbor. It certainly provides a much faster experience in terms of timely arrivals/departures. I much prefer this to parking on the airport, which I have tried once and do not like.
The proposed fee is excessive.

I prefer offsite parking for many reasons, please do not assess an additional fee.

We do not need any more taxes. I can not afford direct airport parking and I feel this is an effort to make me use it!
