The Delaware River and Bay Authority NEWS RELEASE Contact May 2, 2013 James E. Salmon For Immediate Release (302) 571-6409 Social Media Takes Flight at Wilmington Airport New Airport Twitter and Facebook Pages Feature Travel Updates and Information (New Castle, DE) Today, Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) officials, operators of New Castle’s Wilmington Airport (ILG), announced the launch of Twitter and Facebook sites for the airport in response to the impending arrival of Frontier Airlines this summer. In April, Frontier Airlines announced its plan to begin commercial air service to Delaware in July. The new social media pages will help inform travelers of flight updates, travel promotions, airport events and more. “Twitter and Facebook make it easy for passengers flying in or out of Wilmington to get real-time flight and weather updates from us. It also gives us a way to engage with future customers of our airport and answer any questions they may have,” said Stephen Williams, Airports Director for the Delaware River and Bay Authority. “We hope to not only interact with customers in the area who plan to travel to Chicago, Denver, Houston, Orlando or Tampa, but also introduce the Delaware Valley and all it has to offer to guests coming to the area from those metro cities. We’re excited about the possibilities.” Follow the airport on Twitter @FlyWilmILG, like it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ FlyWilmILG or visit its splash page at www.flywilmilg.com for more information. Delaware River and Bay Authority staff members will maintain the feed, but it will not be monitored 24/7. At the Wilmington - New Castle Airport, Frontier customers can avoid the hassles and headaches that can be found at neighboring airports like Baltimore and Philadelphia. The centrally located New Castle Airport is just 38 miles from downtown Philadelphia, 45 miles from the Delaware State Capitol in Dover and a short drive over the Delaware Memorial Bridge from South Jersey, making the airport a convenient gateway to these great destinations. About the Delaware River and Bay Authority The Delaware River and Bay Authority, a bi-state governmental agency created by Compact in 1962, owns and operates the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the Cape May- Lewes Ferry, and the Delaware City – Salem Ferry Crossing. The Authority also manages corporate and aviation properties through its economic devel- opment powers - two airports in New Jersey (Millville Airport and Cape May Airport) and three in Dela- ware (Wilmington Airport, Civil Air Terminal and Delaware Airpark). All agency operating revenues are generated through the bridge, ferry and airport facilities. ###.

Chapter 2 - Draft October 2019
Delaware Aviation System Plan Chapter 2 - Draft October 2019 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEM HE PURPOSE OF THIS CHAPTER IS TO provide the necessary database for subsequent phases of the System Plan. Pertinent data, regarding each airport/heliport and the area it serves was T collected from each airport and the appropriate State and local agencies. In addition to the data provided by these sources, information published by the Federal government and other sources required for comprehensive understanding of the existing aviation system was collected, tabulated, and reviewed. Maximum use was made of the existing system planning work, various existing airport master plans, and environmental studies that have been completed. From these data, the analysis of the existing system was developed. Inventory items included: Airport and Heliport Facilities Aeronautical Activity Fuel Sales by Airport Land Use Around System Airports Socioeconomic Base Statutes and Regulations Future Technology Of these items, the examination of State Aviation Regulations was used to determine whether an update is needed to accommodate funding for private airport development. 1. AIRPORT AND HELIPORT FACILITIES HE FACILITY INVENTORY RECORDS OF DELDOT (WHICH are used for the FAA Form 5010), were used as T one source of inventory data for airport and heliport facilities. Figure 2‐1 presents a map of Delaware showing the locations of each of the existing public‐use airports and heliports. Additional data and information were obtained through review of existing completed airport master plans, and those that are in progress. In addition to the data from published records, on‐site inspections of some of the system airports were necessary to inspect runway and taxiway pavement conditions.

RCED-83-98 Potential Joint Civil and Military Use of Military Airfields
I 3 @gT73f; ‘ii THECOMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THEUNITED STATES Potential Joint Civil And Military Use Of Military Airfields GAO’s evaluation of joint civilian and military use of military airfields shows the concept to be feasible. Currently, 23 military airfields are operating under joint use agreements. Whether joint use can be expanded to other military airfields depends on over- coming problems unique to each airfield and on the full cooperation of the military and civilian parties involved. Some of the problems are --military concerns about impacts on mission, operations, and/or security; --lack of available land to house civilian operations; and --lack of support by a civilian sponsor resulting from community opposition or the lack of a real need for joint use of the airfield. The Congress directed the Secretaries of Defense and Transportation to submit a plan by September 1983 for making domestic military airfields avail- able for joint military and civilian use. GAO recommends action the Secretaries should take in developing this plan. 120738 GAO/RCED-83-88 MARCH 1,1983 Request for copies of GAO reports should be sent to: U.S. General Accounting Office Document Handling and Information Services Facility P.O. Box 6015 Gaithersburg, Md. 20760 Telephone (202) 2756241 The first five copies of individual reports are free of charge. Additional copies of bound audit reports are $3.25 each. Additional copies of unbound report (i.e., letter reports) and most other publications are $1.00 each. There will be a 25% discount on all orders for 100 or more copies mailed to a single address.

Chapter 10 Transportation
Chapter 10 Transportation Overview______________________________________________________________________________ Land use, growth management, and transportation planning are inextricably linked and have to evolve and grow together. Despite the fact that Kent County is not responsible for maintenance of public roads, it is responsible for land use policy and the ultimate demands on those roads. Transportation systems affect most significant aspects of human society including: Settlement patterns; Land development and land use; Economic activity; Goods movement and trade; Jobs and wages; Energy and resource allocation; Access to places of work, education, health care, social life, and commerce; General social equity; Environmental quality; and Overall livability of communities. Community outreach revealed that maintaining existing infrastructure, improving traffic flow, and improving safety are clear priorities. Given the wide reaching impacts of transportation systems, how well they function in turn affects the quality of the built and natural environment as well as the quality of life of citizens. A quality transportation system is also an essential element of attracting economic development. When developing a transportation plan, the overall net benefit with respect to environmental quality, growth management, land use, housing affordability, social equity, urban design, and economic development must be considered. Transportation systems encompass a wide variety of modes including automobiles, bus transit, bicycle, pedestrian, airplanes, trucks, rails, and boats. These modes are not necessarily mutually exclusive and, in fact, should be considered complimentary. Walking is the most basic form of transportation and when road improvements for vehicular traffic are contemplated, multi-modal paths for bike and pedestrian traffic should be included in the design. System improvements and expansion are expensive and complicated undertakings that are designed, constructed, and maintained through a combination of public and private funding.
