Seattle - Tacoma International Airport • Overview • Economic Impact • Sustainability • Activity Forecast • Forecast Implications • Development Constraints • Challenges • Planning Schedule • Public Outreach 2 Overview Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle - Tacoma International Airport • Rapid growth and a constrained operational footprint requires strategic land use planning and future Commission policy decisions to provide needed capacity • Gaining clarity regarding implications of projected growth in passengers and operations — and the necessary facility changes • Developing and evaluating options to meet facility requirements • Will need to utilize Port -owned properties beyond those now a part of the airfield and terminal complex. • The optimal airport layout — maintaining airfield capacity and adding terminal capacity — will require relocation of existing facilities • Understanding these tradeoffs and the repercussions of balancing needs will be a next step 3 Airport Economic Engine Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle- Tecoma International Airport • Sea -Tac serves as critical regional and national asset — More than 170,000 jobs attributable to airport activity — $6.1 billion in total personal income — $16.3 billion in business revenue • Growth in air service supports regional economic activity — Each new international flight generates an estimated $75 million annually in direct and indirect economic impact to the region — Keeping freight moving supports local and regional businesses • Connects region to the global economy • Creates new jobs in local communities — Aeronautical jobs — airlines, airline contractors, flight kitchens, aircraft maintenance — Airport and visitor jobs — dining /retail, hotels, parking — Construction jobs 4 Sustainability Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle- Tecoma International Airport • Draft Strategy for a Sustainable Sea -Tac (S3) — Builds on our Environmental Strategy Plan 2009 — 2014 — Includes sustainability objectives, social responsibility and economic sustainability • S3 integration into SAMP — S3 objectives and initiatives evaluated throughout the SAMP process to ensure that capital development is planned in the most sustainable manner possible • Environmental sustainability objectives used as part of screening criteria in evaluating concepts • Environmental sustainability objectives will be evaluated extensively in proposed new buildings and renovations of existing buildings • Final, long -term plan will include management initiatives (in addition to capital improvements) to ensure airport meet its sustainability goals and objectives in future years 5 Activity Forecast Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle - Tacoma International Airport Passengers and operations • Rapid growth in recent years — Passengers: up 4.7% in 2013 & 7.5% in 2014 — Aircraft operations: up 2.5% in 2013 & 6.9% in 2014 — 13th largest airport in U.S. for passenger traffic in 2014 • Even higher increases projected for 2015 (based on year -to -date volumes) — Passengers: 10% over 2014 — Aircraft operations: 11% over 2014 • Region's economy will drive an increase of 28.5 million annual passengers (MAP) and 190,000 aircraft operations in next 20 years — 66 million annual passengers (up from 37.5 million in 2014) — 540,000 annual operations (up from 350,000 in 2014) • SAMP will assess if, and plan for how, Sea -Tac can meet this demand 6 Forecast Implications Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle- Tecoma International Airport • Airfield — 36% more aircraft on the airfield during peak hours — Impact: Efficiency exponentially decreases as the airfield reaches and exceeds capacity • Terminal — 58% more departing and 70% more arriving passengers in the terminal during peak hours — Impact: Severe congestion and a low level of customer service at check -in, security screening and baggage claim • Landside — 42% more vehicles on Upper Drive during morning peak and 61% more vehicles on Lower Drive during evening peak — Impact: Passenger safety and access to the terminal will be severely compromised in 2034 without improvements 7 Development Constraints Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle - Tacoma International Airport Land Allocation • Western operational boundary of airfield is 16R -34L (no 4th runway) • Three runways are needed in 2034 (cannot push terminal edge west) • No terminal facilities west of 16R/34L (topography, wetlands) • Limited footprint requires prioritization of land uses and complex phasing plan 8 Challenges Sustainable Airport Master Plan :. Seattle- Tecoma International Airport • Airfield — Accommodate 120 peak hour operations with no airfield expansion — Increase airfield efficiency to make full use of three runway system • Terminal — Provide 35 additional aircraft gates with direct terminal access — Expand terminal in manner that will be operationally efficient and can be phased with least disruption to existing facilities — Single, expanded terminal or second terminal? • Landside — Upper and Lower Drives expansion difficult and expensive — All traffic accessing the airport funnels through a bottleneck on the North Airport Expressway 9 Planning Schedule Sustainable .,ice Airport Master Plan :. Seattle- Tecoma International Airport • Activity forecast (completed Q3 2014 — in FAA review) • Alternatives analysis & plan development (Q4 2014 — Q3 2015) — Iterative process, finalizing facility requirements and developing preferred development alternative Commission engagement at key decision points — Constructability assessment — Phased implementation plan — Planning level cost estimates • Program plan of finance (Q4 2015 — Q1 2016) • Environmental review (Q3 2015 — Q4 2016) 1 Q1 1 Q2 net ivity Forcast Q3 1 Q4 Alternatives Ilitakeholder & Analysis Public Involvement Stakeholder & Public Involvement Facilities equirements Alternatives Analysis and plan Cevelopernent Commission Briefings Q1 Public Outreach and Comment Q2 Financing for Capital Program , Q3 Q4 Environmental Re View 10 Public Outreach Sustainable Airport Master Plan 5eattle.Tactrma International Airport • Open houses designed to engage a regional audience — 1st Series of public meetings (Spring 2015): SAMP process, goals, forecast, and development concepts ✓ March 4, Mount Rainier High School , 5 — 7 p.m. (65 attendees) ✓ March 19, Seattle Central Library , 5 — 7 p.m. (27 attendees) ✓ April 2, Bellevue Public Library, 5 - 7 p.m. (33 attendees) — 2nd Series of public meetings (Summer 2015): Preliminary alternatives — 3rd Series of public meetings (Fall 2015): Preferred development alternative 11 Public Outreach Sustainable Airport Master Plan :.
