Evaluation and Ranking Process

• Values calculated for each criteria and each
  alternative, including no build
• Each criteria worth 10 points maximum,
  alternatives ranked as follows
• Best score 10 points
• Next best score 5 points
• Lowest score 1 point
• Criteria rankings added together for each
  alternative
• Highest scoring alternative is best option

Air Quality Construction Impacts

• Alternative 2Outboard West Runway
• Requires a minimal amount of demolition, equal to
  Alternative 5
• Requires less airfield pavement construction
  (6,450 sq. ft.) than Alternative 5, but more
  than Alternative 3

• Alternative 3Inboard West Runway
• Requires the greatest amount of demolition
• Requires the least airfield pavement construction
  (5,913 sq. ft.)
• Requires the highest level of overall
  construction when the size and scope of facility
  demolition and replacement is considered

• Alternative 5Outboard West Runway/Widely Spaced
• Requires a minimal amount of demolition, equal
  to Alternative 2

Preliminary Access Recommendations

• Elkhorn Boulevard extension recommended from
  Metro Air Park (required by County agreement)
• Improvements recommended for Bayou Way including
  pavement widening and signage
• Elverta Road to Earhart Drive should be improved
  as needed for north airfield area access
• Del Paso extension not recommended due to
  environmental issues

TDM Recommendations

• Immediate and near term recommendations
• Land dedication for transit facilities (ROW)
• Enhanced local bus services (BRT)
• Preferential passenger loading zones
• Parking elements (preferential HOV/EV parking
  and/or rates, restrict supply, increase passenger
  rates, frequent flyer AVI system, group/tour
  handling area)
• Pedestrian elements (minimize distances, improve
  connections) remote terminals and other
  multi-modal sites

TDM Recommendations

• Immediate and near term recommendations
  (continued)
• HOV lanes directly to the airport and
  preferential parking (I-5/I-80 HOV lanes)
• Participation in Regional TMAs (including
  Natomas)
• Collaboration with tourism travel agencies,
  municipal/State agencies, 1(800)Commute.org
  seamless transportation assistance via SACOG
• Marketing campaign via TV, print, and radio

TDM Recommendations

• Long-term recommendations
• Fixed guideway transit (future BRT or LRT)
• Multi-modal services - airport shuttle
  coordination
• Transit passenger shelters/bus stops
• Airport transportation information (monitor,
  visitor booths and computerized ground
  transportation access system)
