In an exciting development for travelers at Missoula Airport in Montana, Time Equipment Company has completed the installation of advanced TIBA Parking equipment designed to enhance parking operations and improve the overall user experience. This installation promises to transform how passengers navigate the airport’s parking facilities, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
Comprehensive Parking Infrastructure
Missoula Airport features a well-planned parking layout that includes a Main Lot with six points of entry and four points of exit, ensuring smooth traffic flow for both short-term and long-term visitors.
- Premium Entry Points: Travelers using the Premium Lot for short-term parking can access the facility via two dedicated entry points—one on the right and one on the left.
- Long-Term West Entry Points: Long-term parking options are available through two additional entry points on the west side, also designated as right and left.
- Main Plaza Exits: The Main Plaza features four exits attached to the Premium and Long-Term West Lots. Exit Lane 1 includes a cashier station (PoS-60) for cash transactions, while Exit Lane 2 is equipped with a cash and credit terminal (VPS-60) to facilitate quick and convenient payments.
- Long-Term East Entry and Exit Points: The Long-Term East Lot provides two entry points (right and left). The left entry is currently designated for rental car access, while the right entry serves general long-term parking. The Long-Term East Exit also comprises two lanes for efficient vehicle egress.
In addition to the Main Lot, the airport features an Economy Lot with two entries and two exits, catering to budget-conscious travelers.
Advanced Technology Implementation
The TIBA installation at Missoula Airport includes eight MP-60 entry devices, five SW-60 exit devices, one VPS-60 exit device, and one PoS-60 cashier station. This robust setup provides 14 lanes for streamlined vehicle access and egress.
