Air transportation plays a vital role in the Texas economy. Air passenger and air 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 provide 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, with negative impacts on air quality and other environmental considerations. Accordingly, these issues require concerted action to meet project needs. To address these challenges and current gaps, this project adopts a comprehensive look at the landslide access issues associated with the major airports in the state. It seeks to improve on existing planning procedures and processes to meet the unique need of airport traffic demand for both people and goods. To be effective, planning for airport ground 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. It must also consider carefully the potential of emerging Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies in the airport environment.
