A Combined Quantitative and Qualitative Approach to Planning for Improved Intermodal Connectivity at California Airports

This report has been prepared as the final deliverable for a research project developing a combined quantitative and qualitative approach to planning for improved intermodal connectivity at California airports. The quantitative approach involves the development of an Intermodal Airport Ground Access Planning Tool (IAPT) that combines transportation system performance measurement, an air passenger mode choice model, and a model of transportation provider behavior, and is designed to interface with a traffic network analysis model. The qualitative approach is used to enhance the quantitative analysis to account for factors that are difficult to quantify and to provide recommended policy and planning guidelines.
