The Port of Oakland (Port), which owns and operates Oakland International Airport, and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) have undertaken an effort to improve the transit connection between Oakland International Airport and the Coliseum BART Station, replacing the existing AirBART shuttle bus service. This improved transit connection, envisioned to be an automated people mover (APM) system, would interface with the proposed new terminal complex at the Airport, which is currently in the planning and schematic design phase. The paper discusses possible APM station locations in the proposed new terminal complex and evaluates each from a customer service perspective (walking distances, level changes, indoor versus outdoor/covered stations, etc.). The paper also discusses other planning considerations, such as airport security issues associated with possible APM rights-of-way and station locations.
