Access for Active Modes of Transportation
|
Description: | Encouragement of
alternative forms of transportation (other than personal vehicles) to, from
and within the airport is important in order to minimize traffic and reduce
emissions. While many airports are located within walking distance of office
parks and public transit infrastructure, most airports cannot be accessed by
pedestrians and bicyclists. The advent of new technologies like e-scooters
and e-bikes is proving very popular in cities and can extend threshold travel
distances for these modes to/from and within airports. Guidance is needed for
airports to consider these modes in their master planning efforts, and
potential strategies to collaborate with adjacent communities to benefit from
these new modes of transportation.
|
Objective: | The objective of
this research is to provide guidance for airports in integrating active modes
of transportation to and from the airport into the master planning process.
