Legal Aspects of Transit and Intermodal Transportation Programs. Topic 22-03. Legal Aspects of Transit to Airports

The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) plans to award a contract for a study and report. Legal reports sponsored by this project are published in TCRP's Legal Research Digest (LRD) series. Publications are available to some libraries and approximately 4,000 transportation lawyers and officials through the TRB distribution network. Most large and midsize airports have one or more modes of public transportation for passengers and employees. Growth in air travel is forecast to continue, and public transportation services to and near airports will also likely increase. Research is needed to present the legal issues around improving public transportation services and facilities that serve airports. This research aims to produce a summary of the legal issues facing attorneys for transit agencies and airports when improving public transportation services and facilities that serve airports. One of the main issues to be examined is planning and constructing the infrastructure required to improve public transportation serving airports (e.g., stops, stations, and rights-of-way).
