In the fifteen years since it opened, the O'Hare Airport Transit System (ATS) has performed well, and is generally ready to grow with the airport. A number of ATS challenges have arisen or have become evident over the years. The range of these issues include system capacity, a need for improved de-icing facilities, inefficient access to the maintenance bays, and the distances between the ATS, the Chicago "L" and Metra's commuter rail stations. This paper describes some of the larger current issues facing the ATS in terms of both its internal operations and its interaction with the airport environment that it serves. The extent to which these issues will be addressed is currently under discussion as the city plans for a $16 B expansion of the airport and potentially for the 2016 Olympics, should Chicago be selected in October 2009.
