Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Introduces New Parking System with Metropolis
Aspen, Colorado, USA: The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is partnering with AI-company Metropolis to launch a seamless drive-in, drive-out parking system. The system goes live once the airport reopens on June 1, promising to eliminate manual pay stations by using computer vision for “checkout-free” payments. This is part of broader modernization efforts addressing limited parking. Metropolis, which processes billions in annual payments across U.S. airports, will introduce a sign-up process for travelers to expedite parking. County officials see it as a convenience upgrade; some residents question data privacy but overall reception is positive.
What this means for you:
Local fliers can expect faster entry/exit, though you must confirm your car details with Metropolis.
If you’re privacy-conscious, review data policies—AI scans license plates.
Occasional travelers might avoid kiosk lines, saving a few minutes.
If you prefer avoiding automated payment, you can still check for alternative manual or cash options.
