Ground Transportation

The tremendous growth in Logan Airport passengers — from 30 to 40 million passengers in the last five years — has supported economic growth in the Commonwealth. However, the rapid increase in passengers in a short period is straining the airport’s roadways and curbs. At the same time, changes in how passengers travel to and from the airport has contributed to Logan Airport’s traffic challenges.

Project Overview

Adding centralized App Ride pickup/dropoff areas and increasing HOV options will eliminate over 3 million vehicles annually from the tunnels, and Route 1A, reduce congestion on neighborhood and airport roadways, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Our plan is better for our passengers. Better for our neighboring communities. And better for the environment.

Centralized App Ride Pickup/Dropoff Areas

Project Overview

We are centralizing App Ride passenger dropoffs and pickups at new dedicated curb areas. The new areas – conveniently located in the Central Parking – will be protected from the weather, brightly lit, and connected to all terminals via moving walkways. The new areas will also provide all the services passengers expect including luggage carts, wheelchair services, and bag check service.

App Ride Benefits

Customer benefits from this initiative include:

Less congestion to and from Logan Airport.
Less congestion on airport roads and curbs.
Shorter wait times for pickups and dropoffs.
Protection from the weather.
Wheelchair assistance and luggage carts will be available.
Bag check will be available for passengers traveling on domestic flights.
Discounts for shared rides to and from the airport.
