PLANNING FOR INTERMODAL ACCESS AT AMERICAN AIRPORTS

Shortly after the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration recognized that there was very little guidance available for airport operators and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to use for planning intermodal access to airports in the U.S. As a result the "Airport Access Planning Guide" is being developed. This Guide is designed to provide guidance to states, MPOs, and airport operators on the types of analyses that should be performed when planning airport access. It describes the airport access planning process and procedures for performing analyses. During the development of this Guide, relationships were developed between the level of originating passengers at American airports and the characteristics of airport access and landside facilities. The types of characteristics that were related to origination passengers include: Public Parking; Terminal Curbside Design; and Mode of Access. This paper briefly describes the contents of the Guide, some of the relationships that were developed, and how they were derived and their importance to airport access planning.
