The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's Impacts on Practice: Developing and Leasing Airport Property details how TRB's research helped the director of Eugene Airport in Euguene, Oregon manage several leases that were coming to term and ensure best practices and complian... http://www.trb.org/Resource.ashx?sn=cover_acrp_iop_041a http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/183301.aspx d8fbe92b-1cac-ef11-b8a9-20040feec779 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 16:01:08 GMT As airport leaders look to the future, it is important to consider how airports will fund their operations and investments and balance the risks in providing services to their customers and users while maintaining sound balance sheets. Transportation Insights 3: The Future of Airport Finance , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides a summary of an in-person discussion forum convened by ACRP for aviation leaders and stakeholders to identify new and emerging finance-related issues, ... http://www.trb.org/Resource.ashx?sn=cover_ti3 http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/183113.aspx e81c78d4-cd9f-48c4-b3e0-221e2b5ed728 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 20:00:08 GMT Advanced air mobility (AAM) is a broad concept enabled by new technology with the potential to transform aviation and urban transportation systems over the next 10 years. Some of these technologies include electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft as well as traditional fixed-wing aircraft using electric or other advanced propulsion systems. ACRP Synthesis 130: Airport-Centric Advanced Air Mobility Market Study , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, is designed to help airports a... http://www.trb.org/Resource.ashx?sn=cover_acrp_syn_132 http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/183098.aspx 9a0bb86c-aef7-4e1c-8759-84fd2b75bdc9 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 18:00:40 GMT In the early 1980s, airlines created loyalty programs to encourage passenger loyalty. Within the last decade, European airports followed suit, building their own loyalty programs by collaborating with airport vendors, such as restaurants, duty-free shops, and parking facilities, to provide value-added service to travelers. Airports in the United States have slowly started to embrace the trend by creating their own airport loyalty programs or collaborating with third-party loyalty program providers.

ACRP Synthesis 127: Airport Programs That Reduce Landside Vehicle Carbon Emissions , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides information on the use of airport programs or initiatives that reduce carbon emissions from vehicles accessing the airport. http://www.trb.org/Resource.ashx?sn=cover_acrp_syn_127 http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/183067.aspx cd8ec72c-f240-482f-9139-c99ba5d07ff8 Thu, 24 Aug 2023 20:00:27 GMT Airport economic impact studies are used as an indicator of the growth and sustainability of the aviation industry. The collected data demonstrate the importance of an airport and the economic growth of regional, statewide, and national airports. It can be difficult to effectively leverage an airport’s economic impact study by demonstrating how the airport contributes to economic growth.

New digital tools can be used to generate new revenue opportunities and enhance existing relationships with stakeholders. However, there has been little research on identifying and applying these new synergistic revenue-generating opportunities at airports.

A TCO analysis could lead to cost savings and opportunities for innovation, energy efficiency, and automation. ACRP Research Report 252: Airport Baggage Handling System Decision-Making Based on Total Cost of Ownership , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, is designed ... http://www.trb.org/Resource.ashx?sn=cover_acrp_rpt_252 http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182992.aspx 669f68a3-78fa-46fb-9780-d0a9f83c281b Tue, 16 May 2023 18:00:56 GMT Customer facility charges (CFCs) are imposed by airport proprietors on customers of rental car companies at airports to pay for capital and operating costs of rental car facilities. CFCs have relatively little federal regulatory oversight, and most are implemented through local municipal acts and/or contractual arrangements. Recently, challenges to the imposition and use of CFCs and other airport fees and charges have been mounted in several states.

Each process varies greatly from state to state. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Synthesis 123: State Aviation Funding: Project Prioritization and Selection Processes documents the various state aviation agency project prioritizations, selections, and justifications for funding aviation under state grant programs. http://www.trb.org/Resource.ashx?sn=cover_acrp_syn_123
