Air transportation plays a vital role in the Texas economy. Air passenger/cargo traffic is projected to continue to increase considerably at many of the state's large airports. Ground access to airports is an important function that must be provided for at the regional level as well as in the immediate vicinity of the facility itself. Congestion problems affecting airport access are in some instances reaching unacceptable proportions; there are also concerns regarding the negative impacts such congestion is having on air quality and other environmental considerations. Accordingly, these issues require concerted action to meet project needs. To address the above challenges and current gaps, this project will take a comprehensive look at the landside access issues associated with major airports in the state. It will seek to improve on existing planning procedures and processes to meet the unique needs of airport traffic demand, for both people and goods. To be effective, planning for airport access must be multimodal and intermodal; consider operational, regulatory, and capital-intensive infrastructure provision issues; consider multiple levels of scale/resolution; and recognize the unique dynamic aspects of air traffic demand, i.e., its temporal patterns. This report documents domestic and international best practice case studies. The overall impact of the entire airport transportation network must be considered in order to address ground access issues. This study confirms the objectives and tasks laid out in the research proposal.
