The project intends to reconfigure the ground transportation area currently located on the west side of the Terminal Building. The area provides staging and pick-up for limousines, taxis, airport shuttles, Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft, and public transportation vehicles (buses). The current area has limited space and can be expanded due to the proposed demolition of the Dan P. McClure Auditorium immediately to the west.
The previous uses of the Auditorium have been relocated to other facilities allowing this building to be abandoned to provide for the expansion of the Ground Transportation Center. The additional land gives the Authority the ability to expand the staging and pick-up areas, improve the efficiency of the operations, and accommodate more transportation-related vehicles on property without conflicting with other airport operations.
The project will include a Program Verification Phase that will evaluate additional concepts. Concepts will include options that utilize the originally defined project area.
The project area is shown below.
