Free drop-off, pickup, and waiting lot opens at NYC's JFK Airport
QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11) -- A free drop-off, pickup and waiting lot at John F. Kennedy International Airport's AirTrain JFK station was opened on Tuesday, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey revealed.
The station at Lefferts Boulevard will help alleviate traffic congestion at the front of terminals during the summer, according to officials. It will allow travelers to take an AirTrain for free to the terminals. Officials said the trip would take eight minutes.
“We continue to evaluate traffic conditions and to add a variety of new measures to mitigate the impact of any congestion resulting from construction and high passenger volumes,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton.
