The tri-county break period, which began Feb. 14 and runs through early March, makes Metro more crowded because the level of business travel stays the same, according to Wayne County Air ports Director David Katz. "During the past several years, we've noticed more travelers tak ing advantage of the school breaks in February and this year will be no exception," he said. "We'll see another surge in traffic volume during spring break fn April," Katz added. "So we're advising our customers to call the 24-hour parking hotline (1-800-642-1978) and give them selves plenty of extra time." The hotline, staffed by APCOA employees with the latest infor mation on parking conditions at Metro, will direct travelers to off- airport lots when all on-airport lots get full. Parking conditions at the air port - plus alternate parking options - also are displayed on the new 30-foot-tall electronic sign at Metro's entrance.
