What a great idea and it seems so obvious, it will work in a lot of areas, but Boston is hopeless, they have built so much that I am not sure if a satellite lot still exists, I was just at the Seattle airport and that is just a drop off hot mess. Sorry WA.

Nah... Let's change the narrative. Reply: Pick Up the BLUE SHUTTLE TO THE [INSERT LOT NAME HERE].
I will wait for you at the lot. Take the shuttle to space number XXX.
Airport curbs are already congested. Drivers circle around and create a gridlock at times and sheesh... let's just hope the signage is clear for drivers of all reading and vision levels. (and languages too)
One simple shift to make your experience better is to locate an off-site lot that offers a waiting area and pickup shuttle. The shuttles already run a consistent loop and are designed for efficient movement through and often around traffic. Reduction of stress... CHECK. Reduction of emissions... CHECK. Often better access to the highway: CHECK!
Would you make changes to consider reducing some of the congestion? Reducing the Stress? Increasing mobility options one ride at a time?
