| Abstract | This report presents the findings and recommendations from a study of the demand for airport bus services at Washington National and Dulles International Airports. The purpose of the study was to provide FAA's Metropolitan Washington Airports with a better understanding of the existing and potential markets for airport bus services to assist them in planning bus service improvements and marketing strategies. Data from several recent surveys of Washington metropolitan air passengers and airport bus users were analyzed to develop a profile of the market and to gain an understanding of airport access mode choice behavior. Based on this knowledge, a set of airport access mode choice models were developed and calibrated. The models were used to forecast the share of air passengers who would be attracted to airport bus service under various fare and service scenarios. The results of these model applications formed the basis for recommendations regarding improvements in airport bus service at the two airports. |
