    Chapter V: Transportation

    Transportation CHAPTER V: TRANSPORTATION A. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Located at the junction of Interstate 91 and Interstate 95, as well as a key access point to the Northeast Corridor rail line, New Haven is the highway and rail gateway to New England. It is the largest seaport in the state and the region and also the first city in Connecticut to have joined the national complete streets movement in 2008 by adopting the City’s Complete Streets Design Manual, balancing the needs of all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Journey to Work Data For a U.S. city of its size, New Haven has substantial share (45 Aerial view of New Haven seaport: largest in the state and the region. percent) of commuters who use a form of transportation other than driving alone. Approximately 15 percent of all commuters travel via carpool, close to 14 percent walk to work, while over 11 percent use a form of public transportation. Of the 10 largest cities in New England, only Boston has a higher percentage of residents who travel to work via non-motorized transportation. Also, out of this same group of cities, New Haven ranked highest in the percentage of people who walked to work. New Haven Vision 2025 V-1 Transportation Vehicular Circulation There are 255 miles of roadway in the city, ranging from Interstate highways to purely local residential streets. Of these roadways, 88 percent are locally-maintained public roads and 12 percent are state-maintained roads and highways. There are 43 locally- maintained bridges in the city.

    Opinion Letter to the Wicks Group PLLC on Aug. 22, 2009

    U,S,Department Office of the Chief Counsel 800 Independence Ave., S,w. of Transportation Washington, D.C. 20591 Federal Aviation Administration Glenn P. Wicks, Esq. Roncevert D. Almond, Esq. AUG 222008 The Wicks Group PLLC 1215 17th Street, N.W. Sumner Square, Fourth Floor Washington, D.C. 20036 RE: Opinion on the Runway Safety Area Project at Tweed-New Haven Airport Dear Messrs. Wicks and Almond: This is in response to your request for an opinion on the power of non-proprietors to regulate airport development within the existing boundaries of an airport. In the context of the Town of East Haven's use of its zoning powers to prevent Tweed-New Haven Airport (Airport) from enlarging its runway safety areas' (RSAs) at each end of its air carrier runway, you ask specifically whether "a non-proprietor municipality's improper attempts to regulate the construction of an aviation safety project being carried out by the [Airport] Authority, an airport sponsor, entirely within the boundaries of the Airport and under the authority, approval, and supervision of the federal and state governments," would be federally preempted. Based upon the information in your letter and articulated below, our conclusion is that the Town of East Haven is federally preempted from using its police powers to prevent the Airport from attempting to comply with current FAA RSA standards, as recently mandated by Congress, through enlarging its sub-standard RSAs at either end of Runway 2/20 to meet those standards. 1. Background: The Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport Authority is the sponsor of the Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport (Airport).

    Tweed-New Haven Airport's Current Status

    Current Status January 2018 Tweed-New Haven Airport’s Current Status Today: American Eagle + General Aviation § American Eagle phased out smaller turbo-prop planes which served HVN for many years and introduced the larger Canadair Regional Jet 200 and 700 in November of 2017. § American Eagle provides 50 seat jet service three flights daily through Philadelphia to 115 connecting destinations. § In 2017, 28,511 people flew from Tweed, up 2.5% from 2016. December 2017 saw an increase of 20% from December of 2016. § General aviation activities support key employers and New Haven area businesses. § Shoreline Aviation provides seasonal trips to New York’s East River for $79- one way. § Currently Tweed supports 100+ jobs. § Industry standards have changed. A runway of 5,600 linear feet no longer works for most aircraft in today’s airline fleets. § Tweed is actively working with American Eagle to retain existing service given the runway length challenges. § Retention of existing service and recruiting for new scheduled commercial airlines continues to be compromised by Tweed’s short runway length. Airline Industry Trends § Since 2000, bankruptcies, mergers and acquisitions reduced the number of US airlines controlling the majority of the US market from 10 to just 4 (AA, UA, DL and WN). § Volatile fuel prices, the Great Recession, the national pilot shortage, and investor pressure for tighter fiscal discipline have all combined to force surviving airlines to retire older, smaller and less fuel efficient aircraft from their fleets. § The average regional aircraft flown in 2016 had 22% more seats on it than in 2006. § Smaller and medium sized airports are more heavily impacted by these industry changes.

    Tweed New Haven Airport Authority Proposed Final Decision

    OFFICE OF ADJUDICATIONS IN THE MATTER OF : APPLICATION NOS. 200003049-KZ, DIV-200003052, IW-2000- 116, WQC-200003051, 200600317 TWEED-NEW HAVEN AIRPORT AUTHORITY : MARCH 30, 2007 PROPOSED FINAL DECISION I SUMMARY The Tweed-New Haven Airport Authority (the applicant) has applied to the Department of Environmental Protection for various permits1 to conduct work at Tweed-New Haven Airport. In order to comply with Federal Aviation Administration requirements, the applicant proposes to create runway safety areas (RSAs) at each end of Runway 2/20 and to extend and rehabilitate Taxiway B. As a result of these activities and to compensate for unavoidable environmental impacts, the applicant would implement a plan to restore and enhance tidal wetlands. The DEP issued a tentative determination to approve these permit applications and staff has prepared draft permits that would authorize the proposed activities. (Attachments B, C, D.) A hearing was held in New Haven on December 6, 2006 for the receipt of public comment; the hearing was continued at the DEP in Hartford on December 12, 13 and 18. The parties to this proceeding are the applicant, DEP staff, and an intervening party, East Shore Conservation Association, Inc. (formerly East Haven/New Haven Committee for the Protection of Property Rights, Inc.), represented by its Chairman Michael Criscuolo. On February 22, 2007, the applicant and DEP staff jointly filed proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to the DEP Rules of Practice. Regs., Conn.
