Chapter 5. Multimodal Integration and Airport Access
Chapter 5. Multimodal Integration and Airport Access 5.1. Introduction The overall function of an airport closely relates to other forms of transportation, enabling the safe and efficient movement of people and goods from one location to another. Most airport users, however, don’t originate or terminate their movements at an airport – there are additional transportation modes that need to be utilized to reach their intended destination. For an airport to be effective for users, airports must provide the means for passengers and goods to be transported between the airport and destination. As a result, the Illinois aviation system must incorporate the statewide multimodal landscape into its scope to provide a more comprehensive picture of the overarching transportation system. This inclusion of multimodal opportunities is also outlined within AC 150/5070-7, Change 1, The Airport System Planning Process, which highlights the need to evaluate aviation within the context of multimodal planning. Including an analysis of multimodal integration acknowledges that aviation and airport systems do not exist in their own environment and are impacted by external transportation factors. This chapter details the multimodal transportation system in Illinois as well as how that system influences the state’s aviation system. This chapter includes the following sections: • Roadway Connectivity • Multimodal Integration • Illinois Freight Network • Areas of Transportation Concern Specific to Airports • Long-Range Planning and Transportation Improvements • Summary At the time of this chapter, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically transformed the global economy and created financial uncertainty throughout all levels of business. The global travel restrictions and quarantine mandates enacted by governments have significantly depressed nearly all air travel activity.

Complex Connections: the Challenge of Improving Air, Bus, and Rail Service to Downstate Illinois, 2009–Present
COMPLEX CONNECTIONS: THE CHALLENGE OF IMPROVING AIR, BUS, AND RAIL SERVICE TO DOWNSTATE ILLINOIS, 2009–PRESENT JOSEPH P. SCHWIETERMAN, MATTHEW JACQUES, AND KEVIN SNYDER CHADDICK INSTITUTE FOR METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT AT DEPAUL UNIVERSITY This study evaluates trends in intercity air, bus, and rail service to cities in downstate Illinois. Through a review of service patterns and passenger data, it explores gaps that have emerged and efforts by the state government to fill these gaps. The results show that Illinois has been a leader in promoting conventional rail-passenger service but has struggled to promote higher-speed service and sustain intercity bus connections. Ten downstate airports presently have commercial air service, and most are experiencing growth, but their performance has fluctuated dramatically over the past decade. INTRODUCTION The large size and relatively low population density of downstate Illinois has for generations been an obstacle to providing high-quality intercity air, bus, and rail transportation to many of the region’s cities. This challenge is magnified by the absence of metropolitan areas larger than Bloomington–Normal, which has an estimated population of 175,000, a level well below that generally considered necessary to support frequent intercity bus and low-cost airline service to points several hundred miles away.1 Despite this, the system of airports and bus and train routes serving the region has significantly improved in recent years, and some of the policies created to support these routes deserve recognition for their exemplary qualities. This article provides a broad perspective on how the air, bus, and rail passenger systems serving downstate Illinois have evolved in recent years and identifies trends relevant to understanding how mobility in the region can be improved.
