Abstract:

This report presents the views of metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) on airport system capital requirements. Over the past 15 years, relatively few MPOs have undertaken the preparation of a metropolitan/regional airport system plan. The more prominent of the MPOs that have participated in this aviation system planning process are Los Angeles, Oakland, Salt Lake City, Dallas, St. Louis, Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. MPOs as a group do not have a capital needs list for airport improvements in metropolitan areas across the country. To prepare this report, the views of representatives from Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh, who have considerable experience in aviation system planning, were assembled. Three issues are addressed: (1) Comparison and discussion of estimates of airport system capital needs; (2) Current methods for allocating resources; and (3) Adequacy of existing funds to meet the needs. In conclusion, it is proposed that effort should be devoted to identifying the Nation's "real" aviation needs through the preparation of a National Airport System Plan.
