Which of the following is a key performance indicator (KPI) for airport parking facility management?
Answer: Occupancy rate and revenue per available parking space
Occupancy rate and revenue per available space are standard KPIs that reflect how efficiently the parking facility is being utilized and monetized.
A Transportation Network Company (TNC) is best described as:
Answer: A company that operates app-based rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft
TNCs like Uber and Lyft use digital platforms to connect passengers with drivers, requiring airports to establish permitting and operational policies for them.
'Level of Service' (LOS) in airport roadway planning is a measure of:
Answer: The quality and efficiency of traffic flow on airport access roads
LOS grades roadway performance from A (free flow) to F (breakdown), helping airport planners assess current and future capacity needs on landside roads.
Separating arriving and departing passenger traffic on the terminal curbside is important primarily because:
Answer: It reduces curbside conflict and improves safety and circulation efficiency
Separating arrival and departure curbs prevents vehicle conflicts and allows each function to operate more efficiently without interference.
Airport ground transportation staging areas are primarily used to:
Answer: Hold commercial vehicles until passengers are ready for pickup, reducing curb congestion
Staging areas keep taxis, rideshares, and other commercial vehicles away from the busy terminal curb until dispatched, significantly reducing congestion.
Airport landside planners use demand forecasting primarily to:
Answer: Estimate future vehicle and passenger volumes to size facilities appropriately
Demand forecasting helps planners design and expand landside infrastructure such as roads, parking garages, and curb lanes to accommodate future growth.
Which of the following is an example of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategy at airports?
Answer: Subsidizing employee transit passes to encourage use of public transportation
Subsidizing transit passes encourages airport employees to use public transportation, reducing vehicle trips and parking demand on landside facilities.
