Parking at the Vancouver International Airport: Before and After the Canada Line Lee, Jason
Abstract
Since the opening of the Canada Line in 2009, the number of both short and long-term parking transactions, at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) has significantly decreased; while the Canada Line may be the proximate cause for the decrease, other factors, such as parking rate changes, the number of originating passengers, and gas prices have also changed since the opening of the Canada Line. An analysis of correlations involving these elements with parking transactions at YVR informs factors correlated with the decrease. The Canada Line appears to be the root of the decrease of long-term parking transactions. However, short-term parking transactions are most directly correlated with originating passengers, with additional indirect correlations with gas and parking prices after adjusting for monthly variation. Although the Canada Line does not appear to be a significant contributor in the decrease of short-term parking transactions, it is possible that without its construction, the significant correlations found between gas and parking prices and short-term parking transactions may not have occurred.
