Full Breakdown

The Lafayette City-Parish Consolidated Government Code lets transportation network operators use Lafayette Regional Airport for pickups and drop-offs unless the Lafayette Airport Commission restricts or prohibits it, and drivers must follow all Commission ordinances, resolutions and policies plus federal and state aviation rules (Sec. 98-62). Away from the airport, the general curb-loading rule at Sec. 86-126 caps any vehicle receiving or discharging passengers in a marked passenger-loading zone to three minutes. Both chapters apply in the City of Lafayette and the unincorporated parish alike, per Sec. 1-3, not just outside city limits.

Violations & Fines

Stopping over three minutes in a marked passenger-loading zone is a parking citation from parking control officers; TNC operators who ignore Airport Commission rules can lose airport access.
