BWI Marshall raises parking rates for first time in 15 years

By Jeff Clabaugh

BWI Marshall Airport has the lowest parking rates among the D.C. region’s three airports, but those rates are going up this summer.

Long-term parking will go from $8 per day to $11 per day after July 1, which is the least expensive parking option at BWI Marshall. It’s the equivalent of economy parking at Dulles International, which is $14 per day, and economy parking at Reagan National, which is $19 per day.

“This change will support the significant investment and innovative projects that are improving the airport experience for our valued customers,” said Ricky Smith, executive director of BWI Marshall.

Other parking rate changes will go into effect after July 1:

  • Express parking: $14 per day (up from $10)
  • Daily garage: $16 per day (up from $12)
  • Hourly garage: $30 per day (up from $22)
  • BWI Rail Station garage: $12 per day (up from $9)

The airport will use the additional revenue to fund several projects, including a new guidance system in the hourly garage to find available spaces, new electric buses for its parking shuttle fleet and lighting improvements along terminal roads. A parking reservation system is also being developed.

BWI Marshall has about 25,000 parking spaces. There is an additional 3,200 spaces at the Rail Station garage, which is operated by the Maryland Transit Administration.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
