He calls it \"Con Rail,\" and it lets deputies ride the new rail line to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport so his office can save money on parking.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne issue: The airport says parking for law agencies is free.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOfficers transporting prisoners can leave their cars at the Phoenix police's airport bureau. The officer and prisoner then ride to the terminal in a bureau police car.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Nobody pays to park there,\" airport spokeswoman Deborah Ostreicher said. \"That's where the police cars park. They have a few spaces in there. They open them to fellow law-enforcement officers.\"\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArpaio's office apparently hadn't heard. It has been paying to park at the airport - the maximum fee is $25 a day - since its free parking cards were canceled in 2007 to open spaces for airline passengers.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnder the gun to cut spending, along with the rest of the county, Arpaio decided rail transportation could save a few dollars. His spokeswoman, Lisa Allen, said that every dollar counts in cutting a budget that last year was $289 million.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe estimated that the office spent $25,000 last year to park at the airport. Arpaio estimates the office will spend $72,000 for airport parking during his current four-year term. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There's not one person over here with the understanding that we have any free parking at the airport,\" Allen said.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArpaio's announcement that he would begin using the train to move prisoners caught Phoenix by surprise. Allen said top Phoenix officials called Tuesday after the press release hit to offer \"whatever you need\" to resolve the parking dispute. Meanwhile, calls and e-mail messages started to filter in to Metro from worried passengers.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It comes down to them not being comfortable putting themselves or their families on the trains,\" Metro spokeswoman Hillary Foose said. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I can't speak for the sheriff or his office, but public transportation is not a controlled environment, and it is not intended for this kind of use.\"\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDeputy City Manager David Krietor, who oversees aviation and other city units, said that Phoenix would have preferred to deal with the dispute directly rather than learning of it via press release.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStill, he said, the top priority is making sure \"law enforcement can operate effectively at the airport.\"\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAllen said the issue may not be free parking, but the number of spaces the department is assured.
