• FORECAST OF AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS MODE CHOICE USING THE INCREMENTAL LOGIT MODEL: A CASE STUDY OF THE AIRTRAIN AT JFK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
  Abstract: As factors affecting airport passengers’ and other travelers’ transportation choices constantly change, the probability of choosing a particular mode also changes. For example, an increase in highway congestion would tend to shift auto travelers to public transport, or an increase in transit fare would make auto travelling more attractive. While current modal share of airport ground access can be easily determined from passengers using revealed preference surveys, any forecast on mode choice is difficult because characteristics of individual travelers vary. This paper attempts to forecast airport ground access and egress trips at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) using the incremental logit or pivot point model. The model is developed using modal share data from a revealed-preference survey conducted by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), which operates JFK International Airport. The resulting model predicts how changes in highway travel time due to traffic congestion, increase in transit fare to the airport, and changes in waiting and transfer time in the AirTrain system may impact the mode choice of air passengers and employees traveling to and from the airport.

• Modeling Framework for Airport Access Mode Choice Behavior Considering the Effect of Meeters and Greeters
  Abstract: The increasing demand of air traffic together with the construction of an airport city has resulted in growing concern in ground access to Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA) in Tehran, Iran. To improve the ground access to IKIA, the government has considered many public transportation options to connect the airport to important locations in Tehran. Based on the effect of Meeters and Greeters (MG) on the access mode choice of air travelers, in this paper a modeling framework is presented that take into account the effect of MGs choice on the overall access mode choice of airports. The proposed framework is applied to the data gathered from IKIA.

• Strategies for Collaborative Funding of Intermodal Airport Ground Access Projects
  Abstract: This paper presents the findings and conclusions from a recently completed research study that examined the challenges of funding airport ground access projects and the role of collaborative funding strategies between the different agencies that typically become involved in such projects. The paper reviews the recent literature on funding airport ground access projects as well as some of the wider literature on funding transportation projects in general that is indirectly relevant to airport ground access projects. This is followed by a review of current federal transportation funding programs relevant to airport ground access projects, as well as a discussion of state and local funding programs and potential opportunities for private sector funding. The paper then briefly describes the scope of several case studies of airport ground access project funding that were undertaken as part of the research and are documented in more detail elsewhere.Based on the literature review, the review of current funding programs, and the case study findings, the paper identifies potential funding strategies for intermodal airport ground access projects, requirements for effective implementation of these strategies, and a recommended approach to facilitate successful project development and implementation. The paper also presents recommended changes to transportation funding program rules and regulations that could facilitate and simplify the development of intermodal solutions to future airport ground access needs.
