Regional Airport Planning
2000
Regional Airport System Plan Update
In response to growing air travel and delays at the Bay Area's three primary airports (San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose), a multiagency panel reviewed a range of strategies to increase overall runway capacity. Possibilities examined include adding runways to existing airports, converting military airfields to commercial use, introducing limited commercial service at general aviation (private aircraft) airports, and other alternatives. The analysis was overseen by the Regional Airport Planning Committee, made up of representatives from MTC, the Association of Bay Area Governments and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC).
The new plan updates the Airport Element of MTC's Regional Transportation Plan and will be used by the BCDC in considering possible proposals to extend existing runways or construct new runways in the Bay.
The report is in four
volumes:
- Volume I: Executive Summary & Final Report (PDF)
- Volume II: Aviation Forecasts
-
Volume III:
- Alternatives to New Runways
- Regional Airport Capacity and Delay
- Traffic
- Environment
- Volume IV: Public Input
This report is also available from the MTC-ABAG Library.
