The Ontario International Airport Authority has approved the addition of mobile application-based ride-hailing services to the airport’s ground transportation permit program. The Transportation Network Companies will be authorized to pick up and drop off passengers at Ontario International Airport.
A $3 trip fee will be added to each ride provided by TNCs.
Lyft and Uber have met the airport’s permitting requirements and will begin offering services immediately, the airport authority said. Passengers will be picked up and dropped off at designated locations near each terminal and the USO lounge.
“We are pleased to make available another way for airline passengers to access our airport where passenger volumes have been growing steadily,” said OIAA Commissioner Curt Hagman. “While many drive themselves or use existing taxi, limousine and shuttle services, market demand for online, app-based services has increased in recent months. I am confident the permitting of this popular mode of transportation will be well received by airline passengers and enhance their travel experience.”
