In anticipation of long-haul flights in 2014, Dallas Love Field is underway with a modernization program to maximize the efficiency of the airport operation. The program consists of the design and construction of a new terminal building consisting of twenty (20) gates in a dual loaded pier configuration and other terminal improvements such as baggage, security and check-in facilities. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is currently underway with the expansion of the light rail transit (LRT) system to the northwest including a station adjacent to Love Field less than one mile away. One option considered in the DART environmental impact statement was to route the LRT alignment through the airport in a tunnel however it was determined that this did not meet the cost-effectiveness guidelines of the Federal Transit Administration and was not further pursued. In the interest of regional mobility, the City of Dallas has determined that a direct connection via an Automated People Mover (APM) to the LRT is desired. This report discusses the steps that have been taken to date to determine the feasibility of providing an APM link between the LRT system and the new terminal facility. This paper will discuss tunneling and construction methods, system performance requirements, system alternatives, the recommended alternative, facilities considerations, technology assessment and program schedule. Illustrations of the proposed passenger stations, the new terminal complex and the proposed alignment will be included as well.
