Sacramento County International Airport (SMF) is commonly referred to as the "Gateway to Northern California" with its close proximity to Lake Tahoe and Napa Valley. It is used by many major airlines to service U.S. cities and international destinations. SMF has seen growth on average at times of 4% a year and has recently undergone the largest capital improvement project in the County's history known as the "Big Build." To support this growth, new terminal and airside concourse have been built, along with a connecting and elevated APM shuttle service. To support the $1.04 billion SMF "Big Build" modernization program, Bombardier designed and supplied the driverless INNOVIA APM system as the vital dual lane link between the new concourses. The APM scope of supply includes vehicles, BOMBARDIERCITYFLO 650 automatic train control, power distribution, communications and station platform doors, as well as an extended O&M operation. The new state-of-the-art airport expansion opened for passenger service the morning of October 6, 2011. The project came in significantly ahead of schedule as well as under budget. It was a true team effort in conjunction with all of the various partners, as well as the other players associated with the works. It can be considered a model for similar projects of its kind in the current industry environment.
