Abstract
This report will be of interest to individuals involved in planning and implementing improved public transportation access to large airports. The report presents the results of the second phase of a two-part research effort. The results of the first phase of the research were published as Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 62: "Improving Public Transportation Access to Large Airports." The two reports provide considerable information and practical guidance. In this report, Chapter 1 provides background on why this study is important at this time, which is because congestion at large airports continues to increase. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 present aspects of a market-based approach to planning ground access services to airports. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 examine management strategies for improving the quality of public transportation services to large airports. Chapter 8 integrates the entire report, summarizing key elements of the previous seven chapters and presenting a guidebook for a market-based strategy for improving public transportation access to large airports.
