Abstract:

Two programs that have had a positive impact on alleviating automobile congestion at Los Angeles International Airport are discussed. One program consists of reduced-rate off-airport parking lots and free tram service to the terminal buildings. Two lots that provide a combined total of about 11,400 parking spaces are currently in operation. The other program, the FlyAway Bus, is an express bus service that transports people to and from Van Nuys, a large suburban community 32 km (20 miles) north of the airport. The service includes low-cost parking for up to 15 days at the suburban bus terminal. The success of both programs is significant not only because of their current impact on airport congestion but also because of their potential for expansion to broader uses in the future and because they prove that the public can be persuaded to trade the privacy and control of the automobile for the efficiency and convenience of public trams and buses.
