GROUND TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING
Airport sponsors analyze ground transportation and parking facilities and
operations to determine how best to improve levels of service, enhance operations,
and accommodate the needs of airline passengers, airport employees, and air cargo
shippers--that is, all users of an airport. Unlike the typical commuter, airline
passengers are often unfamiliar with airport access roadways, and under stress
because of concerns about potential congestion or delays encountered when entering
an airport or searching for a parking space.
In recognizing the unique needs of airport users, airport sponsors understand
that "cookie cutter" solutions are often impractical in an airport
environment, and they must instead seek innovative solutions that provide the
traveling public with high levels of service. Airport sponsors also attempt to
operate ground transportation and parking facilities efficiently, and to maximize
their revenues consistent with other goals. Managing and controlling parking
revenues are important because public parking facilities are typically the largest
source of nonairline revenue at U.S. airports, often generating between 15% and
30% of total airport revenue.
Jacobs Consultancy provides analysis, planning, and management services in connection
with all facets of airport roadways; curbside areas; parking facilities; and
commercial vehicle, public transit, and automated people-mover facilities. We
have prepared forecasts of facility requirements and revenues, conceptual designs
for individual facilities, and management plans and regulations for over 50 airports
over the past decade. Jacobs Consultancy is recognized in the industry for its
leadership and innovative solutions. As a result, we are often asked to participate
in leading-edge projects and research efforts. |
