The efficiency of air passenger and cargo mobility is affected by capacity at airports and on the surrounding highway system.
Congestion in the
air
or on
the ground can significantly
impact
aviation operations and
efficiency.
National
and international trade
rely on surface
transportation connections
with the region’s
air
passenger and cargo facilities. As the
nation's
largest
inland port,
the region
relies on aviation and other
intermodal connections
to
maintain
global competitiveness.
Fulfilling the role of the MPO, NCTCOG performs analysis of surface
access
to regional aviation facilities. Future iterations of the Mobility 2035 Plan will
include an inventory of specific improvements on the roadways surrounding
the region’s aviation facilities. These
inventories will be
created to assist
decision makers in
prioritizing and funding these
important connectors. |
