Thirty-two thousand is big. It will be beautiful.\u201d<\/p><p>The new parking deck got less attention than Trump\u2019s announcement that the long-maligned mobile lounges that have shuttled passengers around Dulles since it opened in 1962 will be retired. But the detail does speak to many travelers\u2019 annoyances with parking at Dulles, most of which is in satellite lots that require a shuttle to get to and from the main terminal.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<h2>\n<span>Trending<\/span>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"maxmiller.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2124\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7a89060b2ab465476cda3e881f395593-768x422.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7a89060b2ab465476cda3e881f395593-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7a89060b2ab465476cda3e881f395593-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7a89060b2ab465476cda3e881f395593.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><h3>\n<span>\n                      Sen.

(This reporter almost lost track of their car in one of those lots.) While parking capacity fluctuates during the year (and can be viewed on a daily basis <span><u>here<\/u><\/span>), the <span><u>Dulles Master Plan<\/u><\/span> finalized by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in July 2025 predicted that the existing number of parking spots available at the airport would suffice until at least 2045.<\/p><p>The plan noted that parking demand can fluctuate based on a number of factors, including \u201crises in gasoline prices could result in the reduced use of private vehicles.\u201d (Gas prices have risen in the U.S. <span><u>due in part<\/u><\/span> to the ongoing conflict in Iran.) Still, the authority has already started planning to increase capacity to more than 28,600 spots, most of which would come through the construction of a new parking deck in front of the main terminal building where a surface lot now exists. That three-story deck \u2014 to be built between 2031 and 2034 \u2014 would fit 6,400 cars.<\/p><p>During his presentation, Trump seemed to be unaware of those plans. \u201cWe have an empty site right directly across the street that nobody wanted to tinker with, which is crazy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His proposed parking deck \u2014 which would go in that same location \u2014 would accommodate five times as many cars. But few details exist: The deck wasn\u2019t included in any of the renderings of the new airport that were put out by MWAA and the U.S. Department of Transportation (in fact, the main rendering kept the existing surface lot), and neither agency responded to specific questions about it from NOTUS.<\/p><p>The proposal has drawn skeptical reactions from some parking experts, including Bill Boyle, who owns a parking company in D.C. and runs the Washington Parking Association, a trade group.<\/p><p>\u201cI looked up the biggest terminal garages in the U.S.,\u201d he told NOTUS. \u201cOne is in Seattle and has 13,000 spots, and the other is in Detroit and has 11,500. This would be two-and-half times bigger than those two. That creates all kinds of issues with throughput of vehicles, wayfinding, ventilation and fire safety. There\u2019s no precedent for building a parking deck this big.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2146\">The Struggle of Being a No-Corporate-PAC-Money Democrat<\/a><\/p><p>The world\u2019s biggest parking lot is outside the West Edmonston Mall in Canada; it fits 20,000 cars in surface lots.<\/p><p>Without specifics, it\u2019s impossible to know the actual physical scale of the proposed parking deck. But if MWAA kept to Trump\u2019s pledge that most of it would be above-ground \u2014 \u201cPeople don\u2019t like down underneath,\u201d he said \u2014 it could reach up to 15 stories. That would make the parking deck taller than the main terminal, which tops out at 65 feet.<\/p><p>It would also likely block most views of the historic terminal itself for passengers arriving by Metro or car, a concern that MWAA was already aware of with its plan for a three-story parking deck in front of the terminal. The master plan says it would address viewshed concerns by raising Saarinen Circle \u2014 a traffic circle in front of the terminal \u2014 \u201capproximately 11 to 15 feet\u201d above where it is now.<\/p>\n<p>Boyle also said that building a record-breaking parking deck while the airport remains in operation would be challenging. \u201cWhen you build it you\u2019ll have to have cranes, materials and hauling routes,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re building an enormous garage in a constrained space and doing it while everything is functioning around it, and I don\u2019t see anyone addressing that problem.\u201d<\/p><p>It\u2019s also unclear what such a parking deck would cost. A February 2026 report from the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies <span><u>estimated<\/u><\/span> that each above-ground spot in a parking deck in and around Washington, D.C. can cost $29,000 to build. While that\u2019s below the national average of $52,000, it would also mean that Trump\u2019s proposed 32,000 parking spots could cost more than $900 million. (And that price tag would go up if any levels were underground; the UCLA report says that underground spots can cost $40,000 a piece to construct.)<\/p><p>Since November 2022, there has been an alternative for getting to and from Dulles: Metro. The Silver Line station Dulles <span><u>sees<\/u><\/span> anywhere from 1,300 to 4,300 entries per day, depending on the time of year. <\/p><p>\u201cWhy should we build the world\u2019s largest parking garage in the world on an airport we just invested $6B to connect to Metro?\u201d <span><u>tweeted<\/u><\/span> Virginia Democratic Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell. <\/p><p>But Trump has touted the proximity and convenience of his new parking deck. \u201cPeople will literally be able to park their car and walk 15 yards and be in the terminal,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>\u201cIt will be a parking garage the likes of which no one has even seen before!\u201d offered <span><u>one commenter<\/u><\/span> on Reddit, in what could be seen as either a high compliment or a sarcastic criticism.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2140\">Wisconsin Is DSA\u2019s Biggest Test Yet<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 32,000-spot deck would surpass both existing parking capacity and what airport officials have said is needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-metro"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
