  • Abstract:
    As California enters the 21st Century it is increasingly evident that growth of the economy is directly linked to the strength of both passenger and cargo air transportation. Growth in air cargo and passenger service is leading to a significant increase in aviation-related jobs. Los Angeles International Airport alone was responsible for over 400,00 jobs in 1999 and generates $61 billion in regional economic activity. Businesses clustering near airports lead to the development of the ?aerotropolis?, a new multi-modal airport-driven urban form, which is based on low density, wide street and highway lanes, and fast movements. Since so much of the economy rests on the success of aerotropoli and other types of aviation commerce, it is important to plan wisely. It is important to design and build transportation infrastructure and facilities based on their economic contribution. The intent of the California Aviation System Plan (CASP) Policy Element is to provide guidance for the development and maintenance of the aviation transportation system so that it continues to, first, support and, second foster California?s economic growth. Finally, airports are not simply a transportation resource, but generators for growth for the local, regional and state economy. We need to recognize aviation transportation?s growing importance by increasing investment in aviation infrastructure, both the airports themselves as well as the means of moving people and goods to and from an airport, and by protecting land near airports so that inappropriate development does not adversely affect an airport?s ability to contribute to the economy. 6 Appendices; 74p.
