Where to start
Rideshare from South Garage Ground Floor Section D3 / taxi at Door 4

Rideshare (Uber, Lyft) picks up in the **South Garage, Ground Floor, Section D3** — a construction relocation, and the pickup is geofenced, so you must be at the D3 marker before requesting or the app won't match you. Reach it via the terminal skywalks or a crosswalk. Taxis use the island canopy outside Door 4. Public transit is limited to Metro Transit's weekday-only Route 106 (Eppley Connector).

Pickup Guidance

Rideshare

South Garage, Ground Floor, Section D3. Reach it via the terminal skywalks or any open crosswalk. The pickup is geofenced to D3 — confirm you're at the marker before requesting, as terminal-curb requests won't match.

Taxi

Island canopy outside Door 4 — use the taxi call button there. Covers the terminal from the south end to the north end.

Shuttle

ParkOMA shuttles for South Canopy, South Economy and North Economy pick up across from Door 2 and Door 4. Intercity shuttles (I-80 Navigator Express, OMALiNK, OMASUX) serve regional Nebraska/Iowa destinations. The Ground Transportation Center near Door 3 on the lower level has courtesy phones for certain shuttles.

Transit

Metro Transit Route 106 (Eppley Connector) stops at the Eppley Airport Terminal, running weekdays only (roughly 5:30 a.m. to early evening) to the North Omaha Transit Center and downtown Omaha. There is no rail service. The airport stop was relocated in 2025 for construction — follow current signage.

Private Transfer

Pre-booked cars and intercity van shuttles use the commercial-lane stops near Doors 2 and 4; confirm the current point given the construction split.

Local Tips

  • Rideshare is geofenced to Section D3 in the South Garage — you must physically be there before requesting, or the app won't match a driver. This is the single most common mistake at OMA right now.
  • Public transit is minimal: Metro Transit Route 106 (Eppley Connector) is weekday-only and runs a short span of the day, so it's rarely practical for a flight — but it exists. There's no rail.
  • The terminal runs as two end-cap halls during construction: north services cluster by Door 5, south by Door 1. Check your airline's concourse.
  • The taxi call button is on the island canopy outside Door 4 — you don't need to phone ahead.
  • ParkOMA parking shuttles collect across from Doors 2 and 4.

Tarmyq local tip

Two things define OMA right now: rideshare lives in the South Garage at Section D3 and is geofenced (be there before you tap request), and public transit is barely there — Route 106 runs weekday-daytime only, so most arrivals need a car. Taxi is at Door 4.
