First, the majority of the themes and property types significant in military history in Los Angeles are covered under other contexts and themes of the citywide historic context statement as indicated in the “Introduction” below. Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

  • Aviation & Airport Ground Access
    TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS TECHNICAL REPORT ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION 2 REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE 3 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 18 ANALYTICAL APPROACH 19 EXISTING CONDITIONS 23 STRATEGIES 31 NEXT STEPS 36 CONCLUSION 40 REFERENCES 41 TECHNICAL REPORT AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 connectsocal.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The SCAG region is home to seven commercial airports with scheduled passenger service, seven government/military air fields, and over 30 reliever Aviation and Airport and general aviation airports. On a daily basis, the region’s airports provide service to hundreds of thousands of air passengers, and thousands of tons of cargo. Moreover, the airports in the SCAG region employ approximately 60,000 Ground Access people onsite. Therefore, thousands of passengers, employees, and goods are traveling the region’s roads, highways, and transit systems to get to and from the airports. As a metropolitan planning organization (MPO), SCAG does not have any regulatory, developmental, operational, or planning authority over the airports. Rather, SCAG is primarily a regional surface transportation planning agency that maintains a list of airport ground access projects and a consultative relationship with the airports. Therefore, SCAG is focused on air and passenger cargo activity from the perspective of how the traffic coming and going from the airports affects the region’s roads, highways, and transit system. One critical aspect of SCAG’s role in aviation systems and transportation planning is the Aviation Element of the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020 RTP/SCS) (Connect SoCal).

  • Southern California Fact Sheet
    FAA Facts Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C. 20591 Southern California Metroplex The Federal Aviation Administration’s Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, is the on-going transformation of air traffic control technologies and procedures in the United States. You might think of this transition as similar to moving from paper maps to GPS when you drive your car. In addition to improving navigation, NextGen brings other benefits: • NextGen enhances aviation safety, reduces workload on the flight crew and air traffic controllers, provides repeatable predictable flight paths and modernizes air traffic procedures to today’s standards. o A key NextGen goal is to safely improve the way aircraft navigate complex, metropolitan areas, which we call Metroplexes, to make flight routes and airports more safe and efficient. • The FAA has identified multiple Metroplex areas in the United States. Each Metroplex includes one or more commercial airports that serve at least one major city: o A Metroplex allows the FAA to improve regional traffic movement by making the best use of airspace and procedures, using precise, satellite-based navigation. • Use of NextGen procedures in these areas could improve on-time performance, which would benefit the region and the entire National Airspace System. SoCal Metroplex The airspace surrounding the Southern California area has a large number of air traffic procedures which have not been changed for many years. • While these procedures are safe, most are inefficient due to advances in technology. • This is one of the reasons why the airspace surrounding the Southern California airports have been identified for Metroplex development. • The proposed Metroplex would allow for more direct and efficient routing of aircraft into and out of Southern California and its surrounding airports, enhancing aviation safety, and reducing flight delays above these communities.
