Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority has announced a new Ground Transportation Center (GTC) project that will improve ground transportation services at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO). The project is set to deliver a state-of-the-art facility by 2028.
In a strategic partnership, Conrac Solutions has been named the Public-Private Partnership for this project. The collaboration with Conrac Solutions is said to mark a significant milestone in the airport’s commitment to enhancing the travel experience, strengthening sustainability initiatives and improving public safety for millions of passengers annually as part of the MoreRNO Infrastructure Program.
“We’re proud of this unprecedented Public-Private Partnership with Conrac Solutions,” said Daren Griffin, President/CEO, Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority. “This collaboration is a significant $299 million private sector investment, marking a historic moment for our region. Conrac Solutions’ proven track record in developing innovative ConRAC facilities aligns with our vision for revolutionising ground transportation at RNO.”
Recognising the parking challenges faced by travellers, the GTC project aims to alleviate congestion by relocating rental car facilities from the parking garage to the new centre. This strategic move will free up hundreds of parking spaces currently occupied by rental car companies, providing passengers with easier access to parking and reducing overall traffic flow on the airport’s roadway.
“I want to emphasise the lasting impact that this important infrastructure will have, not only on our tenant and passenger experience but on the region as a whole,” said Griffin. “Rental cars are essential to northern Nevada and critical for our travellers to explore our region. By modernising our current ground transportation and rental car operations and facilities, we are not only enhancing efficiency and convenience but also contributing to the economic growth and vitality of our community. It’s an essential infrastructure that supports both current ground transportation needs and future advancements, such as accommodating electric vehicles. Additionally, its proximity, just a short walk from the airport, maintains the convenience and ease that is paramount to our travellers.”
