FastPark keeps changing the promotion, first it was "Summer Special" now its something like "Fall Special." I'm sure the airport was losing alot of business to the surround companies, seeing as how the they are all alot closer and faster than the remote lot of the airport.
The surrounding competition is the reason for the change. Both FastPark and Economy Airport Parking have lowered their rates to $5/day (FastPark started it first). The airport lowered it's economy long-term rates to stay competitive and keep the revenue "bleed" to minimum.
