Description:

The primary purpose of this research is to investigate ground access projects at other airports to identify how multi-modal transportation planning is applied to varied transportation systems. The objective is to learn from the experiences of other states and countries which are planning and operating multi-modal ground access systems and provide overall recommendations on ground access which have possible applications for Colorado. The data collected nationally on modal split show that public transportation alternatives to airport ground access do not capture large market shares in the United States and Canada. Interestingly, this study shows that access plans are often implemented without the benefit of sufficient knowledge of the markets they serve. In situations where public transportation has gained ridership shares above the national average, two key factors have usually been assessed: (1) origin and destination and (2) customer needs. Assessing these factors provides an empirical basis for transportation alternatives to the auto that are convenient, comfortable, safe, and reliable.
