Summary

Dallas rideshare and TNC drivers can't stage or wait at the Love Field terminal curb. City Code Chapter 47A requires every operating authority to follow the airport's ground-transportation rules, which route app-based pickups to the designated valet pavilion and Garage C.

TRANSPORTATION-FOR-HIRE SERVICE AT DALLAS LOVE FIELD AIRPORT AND DALLAS-FORT WORTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. In addition to complying with this chapter, an operating authority providing transportation-for-hire services at Dallas Love Field Airport or Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport shall comply with all of the rules and regulations of those airports.

Full Breakdown

Dallas City Code Sec. 47A-2.1.8 ties transportation-network-company service at Dallas Love Field to the airport's own ground-transportation rules, on top of the citywide Chapter 47A operating-authority requirement. At Love Field that means no staging or waiting at the terminal curb, only active loading and unloading, and app-based riders follow terminal signage to the designated pickup point at the valet pavilion and Garage C to meet their driver. Violating Chapter 47A is a criminal offense, a separate offense is committed each day it continues, and the department the city manager designates as 'director' enforces the chapter.

Violations & Fines

Violating Chapter 47A is a criminal offense, with a separate offense committed each day a violation continues; drivers staging at the Love Field curb instead of Garage C also face airport ground-transportation enforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Uber and Lyft pick up at Dallas Love Field?
Follow terminal signs to the valet pavilion and Garage C. App-based rides, taxis, and peer-to-peer vehicles meet drivers there, not at the terminal curb, where staging is prohibited.
Does Dallas regulate rideshare beyond the airport?
Yes. Chapter 47A requires transportation-for-hire operating authority citywide, and Sec. 47A-2.1.8 adds that Love Field and DFW operators must also comply with those airports' ground-transportation rules.
