Boston Globe - The Massachusetts Port Authority has agreed to study imposing a fee on drivers who pick up or drop off passengers at Logan International Airport, part of a deal with environmentalists seeking to curb congestion and air pollution amid a surge in airline traffic.
Each day, more than 20,000 cars enter Logan to leave friends or relatives at a terminal or meet their arriving flights, according to Massport.
The Conservation Law Foundation, a Boston environmental group, says these trips could be reduced by charging people for driving to Logan.

Will charging a drop off/pick up fee cause people to use other airports in the area?
Once again, an environmental group is oblivious to how a move designed to reduce a harmful activity is going to fall hardest on people struggling to get by. Similarly, a lot of climate change denial is fueled because of people afraid they are going to lose their jobs if environmentalists get their way. This proposal is tailor made for right wing attacks that will resonate with such people.
OMG! CRAZY. Another lawyerese solution and well, DON'T GO TO BOSTON!
