I believe the airport could best serve the region by strengthening its role as a transportation hub that supports additional modalities of service, including ride sharing, bus service, rail service, biking and more.
“I believe a transportation hub like the airport could help improve environmental sustainability and economic prosperity, create equitable access to transportation services and support job creation within the region.”
