The purpose of this project was to identify challenges and solutions to providing landside freight access to airports. Depending on where an airport is located (e.g., innercity, suburban, or rural), airports face various challenges to providing safe and efficient freight access routes to and from the airport. Access routes include adequately designed roadways and/or rail lines to and from the airport area that serve all airport cargo movement needs. The cargo requirements of airports may vary greatly, based on either small packages carried in the belly of passenger airliners or specialized air cargo operations requiring palletized loading of cargo-only aircraft. Cargo operations can take place around the clock, necessitating properly planned transportation access to ensure that these activities can take place.
