| Summary: | General aviation supports a community economic ecosystem. Maintaining easy connectivity between the community and the airport is an important focus of airport owners/operators and fixed base operator tenants. Travelers arrive and depart from small airports intending visits to diverse off-airport locations. Ground transportation between the general aviation facility and those locations may be less available at small community-owned airports without regular scheduled service. Last mile transportation could be supplied by a range of transportation services found regularly at large airports. Last mile solutions such as courtesy vehicles, shuttles, taxis, rental cars, public transit, app ride hailing, bike sharing, and partnerships with non-traditional vehicle operators can deliver connectivity. Nonprimary commercial service airports that may also have last mile connectivity issues will gain valuable information from this synthesis of practice, but specific practices to serve passengers at these airports are not included. |
