North Carolina: Integrating Other Modal Elements into Performance-Based AnalysesPam Keidel-Adams

Overview

• NC Airports System Plan (NCASP)• Importance of Multimodal

Relationships• New “Strategic Transportation

Investments”

NCASP

• 1st system plan in more than 20 years• No previous performance measures• Already using quantitative process to

classify state’s airports• Comprehensive look at system needs

focusing on “new demands”• Look at performance of intermodal

connections

Goals for NC System

Related NCASP goals to 2040 Plan goal categories – facilitating integration

Multimodal Integration is Part of Goals

“The State should be served by a system of airports that

supports integration with other modes of transportation.”

Multimodal Integration Performance Measures• System airports that provide

intermodal options, including public transportation interface

• System airports that are incorporated in local comprehensive transportation plans

Importance of Relating to Other Modes

Accessibility of system from the ground

Relationship of Future Mode Changes to Potential Airport Needs

Changing NC Transportation Landscape• 2040 NC Statewide Transportation

Plan• Statewide Logistics Plan• “Accountability Framework”• Strategic Transportation

Investments (STI) law

STI

• Law passed in 2013• New “Strategic Mobility Formula”• Takes “tiered approach to funding

transportation improvements”• ALL MODES COMPETE FOR

SAME CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDS

• Implemented July 1, 2015

Different Criteria for Distribution

Highway

Funds =

90% minimum (compared to

historical 93%)

All other

modes = 4%

minimum• Aviation• Rail• Ferry• Bike/Ped

• Public Transit

(1) Statewide Airports - Commercial Service Airports• International Service or 375,000 enplanements• NPIAS• $500,000 per airport per project per year• CLT, RDU, ILM, GSO

(2) Regional Impacts - Commercial Service Airports • Remaining Commercial NPIAS airports • $300,000 per airport per project per year• AVL, OAJ, JQF, PGV, FAY, EWN

(3) Division Needs – General Aviation Airports• All GA NPIAS airports • Statewide total funding not to exceed $18,500,000

STI - Eligibility for Airports

“Local Input” Scoring

• Division engineers and MPO/RPO staff are scoring all modal projects in Regional Impact and Division Needs categories

• Need to compare aviation AND all other modes to score

Aviation & Multimodal Performance – Increased Importance

• For capital development, new funding mechanism and more input from others, comparing all modes

• Need to show linkages to other modes and why funding aviation projects is important

• Integration with other modal analyses helps to show relationships
