This page offers information on current rates and the necessary forms to apply for and maintain a permit.
For taxis, shuttles and other car service, charges are applied each time a provider accesses the TUS commercial ground transportation roadway using the provider’s TAA-issued proximity card to enter the ground transportation roadway. When the gate arm is lifted, each entry is recorded. At the beginning of each month, providers are billed for the previous month’s activity.
Each vehicle accessing the ground transportation roadway must have its own proximity card. The one-time charge to acquire a proximity card for use at TUS is $25.00 and to reassign an existing card to another vehicle is $15.00.
Current rates to use the proximity card are:
If a provider’s proximity card is not in a driver’s possession because it cannot be found at the time of desired entry to the commercial roadway, the driver may be given remote access and then use a credit card to pay a TAA Public Service Officer for the entry fee plus an additional charge for a new proximity card. The driver will receive a receipt and temporary vehicle permit that allows access through the gate arm for up to two (2) business days after first entry. Each entry using the temporary permit will require validation by a Public Service Officer. A permanent replacement proximity card will be available for pickup within those two (2) business days at the front desk of the TAA Administration Offices on the 3rd floor of the main terminal. Current charges for this are:
There will be an additional fee of $150.00 in cases where a provider is given access to the commercial roadway but the driver leaves before meeting and paying a Public Service Officer.
Important: Ground service drivers may not solicit riders anywhere on Tucson International Airport property. Other information, including TAA rules and regulations, a map of the commercial roadway and the location of the waiting area for Lyft and Uber drivers is at the bottom of this page.
