Newport News Shipbuilding has added a new stop for the new park-and-ride program at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport.

NNS is leasing about 140 spaces at the airport across from 12561 Patrick Henry Drive near McManus Boulevard. The lot is open to employees with a Zone A or Zone B hangtag.

Coach buses are transporting employees from the airport at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. with stops at the North Yard Gate, 46th Street, the Bldg. 903 Garage, and – in response to shipbuilder feedback – a new stop at 42nd Street. Afternoon departures from these locations will return employees to the airport.

Employees who need immediate access to their vehicles during their shift can receive rides to the airport via the TRAFFIX app. Visit gotraffix.com for eligibility requirements and rules. This service helps in the event of a family emergency, unscheduled overtime, a sick child at school or other urgent matter. Email [email protected] for more information.
