In order to assist airport managers in dealing with the ground transportation problem at U.S. airports, a study team at the University of North Carolina conducted a two-part airport ground transportation study. The first part of this study contains a national survey of U.S. airports and the second part contains ten case studies of airports around the United States that have incorporated interesting and innovative ground transportation control strategies. Airport managers report that hotel vans and other courtesy vans pose major problems in 46.3% and 42.5% respectively, of U.S. airports. Responses from managers further indicate that taxicabs and limousines pose a variety of problems ranging from littering and soliciting to over-charging and short-trip refusals. The study results find that airports can control the numbers of ground transportation vehicles allowed to pick up passengers departing from planes by the use either of an exclusive contract or multiple contracts.
