Major contributor to green house gas emissions Nearly equivalent to aircraft-related emissions Congestion on the airport drive Risk to airport operations Negative passenger experience 4 Sustainability Goal & Mode Shift Strategies Environmental impact by travel mode Grams CO / mile 2 Private vehicle - curbside 21.10 Limousine 20.82 TNC (eKPI compliant) 10.82 Taxi 10.24 Private vehicle - parking 10.20 Rental car 8.79 Public transit bus 4.61 Shuttle Express 2.06 ST Light Rail 0.02 5 Mode Split Characteristics at Airports Best Practice report in airport ground transportation*.

The travelers then completed a tablet-based self-administered survey regarding factors that Interpreting Barrier scores: could affect the difficulty of using public transit. "Barrier scores" indicate the influence of each factor. Additional time necessary to use public transit For example, the was largest barrier to taking transit, followed by travel time factor with a barrier score of 24 need to transfer, and frequency of service. was six times more likely to be selected as the largest barrier than the covered walkway The smallest barriers were weather, walk from from the Airport station to terminal. Airport light rail station to terminal, and transit cost. Source: Light Rail barrier survey (November 2016) Prepared by Business Intelligence 10 Employees: Commute Trip Reduction Over 40% of the 18,000 badged employees reside in just 14 zip codes south and southeast of airport. Remaining 60% of employees are spread thinly across entire Puget Sound region. Recent Port of Seattle employee commute trip reduction trends Drive-alone rate is around 70% with transit around 10-15% Shift from carpools/vanpools to drive alone Potential for employee commute trip reduction? Trip length on transit (stops enroute, frequency) Access to transit routes Time of day / shift starts and ends 11 Mid-Term Landside Strategy Problem: Accommodate near- to mid-term demand on existing terminal roadways and curb Address bottleneck areas to reduce congestion and improve Level of Service (LOS) Goal: Leverage operational strategies before phasing in capital projects Seek lower cost capital projects that minimize throwaway work, maximize flexibility for either one or two terminal solutions BOTTLENECK AREAS Exit ramps Curbside Drives approach 12 Master Plan Improvements to Transportation Proposed second terminal Supports independent north terminal ingress and egress Reduces passenger traffic and congestion at main terminal Served by APM or bus guideway and stations, removing rental car buses from roadway Provides additional regional and local access to airport 3-D model in AutoCAD set geometry of facilities in North Terminal area 13 Cooperation Underway How are the Port and regional transit partners already working together? Transportation Review Committee Regional Mobility Forum staff work group conceptualized Routing buses off of drives due to congestion Sound Transit's signage study underway Built Link to Airport (2009) and extension to south (2016), pedestrian skybridge to transit kiss 'n' ride, and city businesses ORCA cards subsidies for employees from POS and TSA Some route adjustments to compensate for employee shifts 14 Opportunities Near-term Long-term Expand Link to new markets north Accelerate ST3 Link extensions (north, and south east, south) Extend route for night-owl service Expand light rail East-West: ST3 will study future light rail extension from West Incorporate technology innovations Seattle to Burien, and Renton Enhance airport connection to Link Explore remote park & fly Light Rail Station Incorporate technology innovations Identify employee incentives 15
