At the same time, SFO represents a unique circumstance because of the role of its local climate, and thus careful analysis is required to address its delay situation. The airport is in the process of planning a major runway reconfiguration project that would largely solve the problem of weather-related congestion delays, but this massive project will take many years. Presented are the results of an effort to design potential short-term strategies to reduce weather-related congestion delay at SFO while the runway reconfiguration proceeds. Designing measures to reduce delay outside the context of runway expansion is a complex task that requires balancing multiple considerations--issues of equity, access, legal jurisdiction--along with considerations of efficiency and airport performance. The kinds of thinking and analysis required in considering these types of delay-reduction measures are explored.
