Airport Railways in US & Canada

19 North American Airports are directly linked to urban rail networks with another 7 air-rail links scheduled to be opened before 2020.

This US & Canada AirRail Links Ebook 2014, produced by the Global AirRail Alli-ance (GARA), gives an overview of the currently operational and future rail links to airports in the continent.

Connecting airports to cities by rail, gives a significant boost to airports them-selves and the cities they serve. According to a study released by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and the U.S. Travel Association, hotels in cities with direct rail access from downtown to airport terminals receive near-ly 11 percent more revenue per room than hotels in cities without a rail airport connection.

There are two major categories of an air-rail link – a purpose built, dedicated airport line and a commuter rail line that also stops at the airport.

In North America the operational airport rail links are part of the wider city’s or national rail network and provide mixed service to regular urban commuters and airport passengers. These urban air-rail links are cheaper, run on a high fre-quency schedule, stop frequently and mainly compete with bus links.

UP Express in Toronto, scheduled to open in spring 2015 in time of Pan Am & Parapam Games, will be the first express link in North America. You can read more about this project at the end of the ebook, where we give an overview of air-rail links currently being built in North America.

A purpose built, dedicated airport line, let’s call it an Airport Express, is typically planned and built with an airport passenger in mind and is fast, frequent (every 15-10 minutes), with lots of luggage space, usually staffed (as new visitors need help with purchasing travel and onward journey options), and with no or very few intermediate stops. Such Airport Expresses are mostly concentrated in Eu-rope and Asia and capture a significant airport passenger market, usually around 15-30%, depending on other available travel options. Airport Expresses’ main competitors are private cars and taxis, as they offer faster travel option between the city centre and the airport, and cost more than a regular rail or bus journey, but less than a taxi or long term parking.

At GARA we work with airports, rail links, airlines, planners and suppliers to discuss best practices in airport rail connectivity around the world. This cov-ers what works best in different cities and airports and what are the customer experience innovations that could improve air-rail links today and in the future. Significantly, we also cover what are the main challenges when planning, build-ing and operating an airport rail connection.

I hope you will find this US & Canada AirRail Links Ebook 2014 useful.

The 3.2-mile Oakland Airport Connector provides a transit alter-native to driving and the overall airport traffic situation will benefit from reducing the number of cars on the road.

With a travel time of less than 15 minutes between the Coliseum BART station and the airport, and vehicles departing every four minutes, BART to OAK enhances schedule reliability, reduces trip times and provides a seamless connection with the BART system.

The system includes two end terminal stations: one at the Colise-um/Oakland Airport BART Station and one at the airport terminal.

The Union Pearson Express will provide a high-quality express rail shuttle service between Union Station and Pearson Airport, creating an important link for business people and travellers.

In time for the 2015 Pan Am Games, 140 airport shuttles operating approximately every 15 minutes will run daily between the Pearson International Airport and downtown Toronto. It will offer travellersmore choices to connect between Canada’s two busiest transportation hubs.

The Union Pearson Express will stop at the Bloor GO and Weston GO stations, and will take 1.2 million car trips off our roads in its first year of operation alone.

The Union Pearson Express is expected to remove 1.2 million car trips from our roads in its first year of operation alone.

A key element of the Union Pearson Express is the construction of a new connecting line between the existing GO Kitchener rail corridor and Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The East Rail Line is a 22.8-mile commuter rail transit corridor between Union Station and Denver International Airport. The U.S. Federal Transit Administration approved the East Rail Line in 2009 when it issued a Record of Decision. Final Design began in 2010 and construction began in 2011. The East Rail Line is scheduled to begin service in 2016.

The East Rail Line commuter train to the airport is under full construction as part of the RTD FasTracks Eagle P3 Project.

The design and construction is being done by a concessionaire team Denver Transit Partners (DTP), which has a 34-year agreement with RTD to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the rail line. The public-private partnership is the first of its kind in the United States. DTP’s equity partners are Fluor Enterprises Inc., John Laing Investments and Uberior Infrastructure Investments.

Denver Transit Partners’ affiliate, Denver Transit Constructors, is the design-build contractor and is composed of Fluor, Ames Construction and Balfour Beatty Rail Inc.

The 20-mile Honolulu rail transit system will be the first driverless light metro rail system in the United States, running from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center, via the Honolulu International Airport. Journeyfrom the downtown station to the airport will take just 12 minutes.

There will be a total fleet of 80 vehicles, with approximately 68 train vehicles in operation during peak travel periods by year 2030.

It is expected that with the help of the new transit system there will be about 40,000 fewer car trips on Oahu’s congested streets and freeways.

One-third of the construction cost is being paid for with funds from the Federal Transit Administration. A large percentage is being paid by tourists making purchases on Oahu (to which the half-percent GET surcharge applies), and the balance is being paid by Oahu residents and businesses (through the half-percent GET surcharge).

The first privately owned, operated, and maintained passenger rail system in the United States, All Aboard Florida will connect South and Central Florida utilizing 195 miles of an existing, active rail corri-dor located along the eastern portion of the state. Forty (40) new route miles will be created parallel to State Road 528 to connect to the Orlando International Airport.

All Aboard Florida’s station locations will be centered in the downtowns of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and the planned Intermodal Station at the Orlando International Airport’s future South Terminal. All locations will provide access to international airports, seaports, and existing and future transit systems, such as SunRail in Orange County, and Metrorail and Metromover in Miami-Dade County.

Passenger operations are expected to begin between Miami and West Palm Beach in 2016 and to Orlando by early 2017. Regularly scheduled, hourly service will connect passengers from Orlando to South Florida in approximately three hours.The estimated cost of the rail infrastructure and transit oriented development is $3 billion. Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) is the holding company of All Aboard Florida.
