Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Among other things, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) establishes the Office of Intermodalism within the Office of the Secretary of Transportation. This new office will maintain and disseminate intermodal transportation data and coordinate federal research on intermodal transportation. This article discusses the role of aviation in the intermodal transportation arena. Legislation to renew the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 will stress the importance of increased intermodalism. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reviewing its airport research program in light of the prospect for increased development in the area of passengers and cargo. A joint effort of the FAA and the Federal Railroad Administration is studying airport access applications for high-speed transport. Another issue under discussion by the intermodal committee on passenger terminals is the possible use of stations as downtown satellite airport terminals. Other areas discussed in this article include measuring ground access, financial performance, computer simulation, and strategic planning for the airport system.
