North Carolina: Integrating Other Modal Elements into Performance-Based Analyses Pam Keidel-Adams
Overview NC Airports System Plan (NCASP) Importance of Multimodal Relationships New “Strategic Transportation Investments”
NCASP 1 st 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
Current Multimodal System Performance
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
1 st Implementation Results by Mode
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
