Abstract:

Airport ground access mode choice models can provide a great deal of utility for airport facility managers tasked with landside access planning. However, the absence of definitive standards to guide the development of these often results in wide variations in mode choice model parameters that often lead to improper understanding of the air passenger ground access trip that is uniquely distinguished from the traditional set of trips analyzed by regional travel demand models. The Port Authority and its partner agencies have used a variety of models to explore airport ground access mode choice in recent years. While some of these studies have been built upon earlier efforts, none produced a general-purpose, region-wide airport ground transportation access model in a form that could be maintained for on ongoing use. An opportunity to develop such a model arose in late 2010, when the Port Authority partnered with other regional planning agencies to develop a comprehensive model of airport ground access mode choice for the region. A set of ground access mode choice models was developed using data from the 2005 Regional Air Service Demand Study commissioned by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). A careful analysis of this data and the application of some unconventional model estimation techniques revealed a number of new and interesting findings regarding the characterization of air passenger attitudes towards travel time and cost. These findings are believed to have broader applicability beyond the geographic boundaries of the New York Metropolitan Region and could further enrich the existing literature on ground access mode choice modeling for major airports.
