BACKGROUND Two actions have been taken in recent months which have renewed interest in regional airport service in San Diego County. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), in January of this year, established an advisory committee to prepare a detailed scope of work for assessing the market demand and opportunities for air transportation in the San Diego region. The committee includes representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Defense, State Division of Aeronautics, City of San Diego, County of San Diego, Unified Port District, SANDAG, business community, labor, academic community, Congressional delegation, and San Diego Dialogue. The committee has also been asked to identify potential hnding sources for the study. SANDAG staff estimates the first phase of the study could be completed within six months if funding is obtained. The cost of the first phase of the study will be approximately $150,000. A copy of the SANDAG staff report outlining the study is attached for your information.

This assessment, as described in the December Board Report, R-13Q-A, would be the first phase of a potential two phase project designed to describe the economic value of meeting the region’s market based needs for ab transportation capacity. Staff also was directed to set an Airpolt Workshop for the Board, That Workshop was held on January 14, 1994. This report describes a process for preparing a scope of work for a study of air transportation market demand and opportunities. It identifies some of the key questions to be addressed in the study. As mentioned before, the study would not be site spwifk. The process described below is intended to develop a consensus among, organizations and agencies wbase involvement wiU be important to any regional ait transportation decision. The staff believes that determining air transportation’s value to the region’s economy is the. only valid technical approach to the issue, and the best way to provide infomiation to those supporting various airport site alternatives. It also gives the City of San Diego the information and the opportunity to determine its position on ak transportation. It is, therefore, my RECOMMENDATION that staff be directed to: * invite interested organizations and agencies to participate in the preparation of a detailed scope of work for assessing the market demand and opportunities for air transportation in the San Diego region, and identify and secure funding sources for the study. * 20 ‘d LE:51 31i.L b6-I - e w Discussion All previous a.j~ transportation studies conducted by SANQAG have focused on fipdmg an ahport: site to replace or complement Lindbergh Field, Site selection studies are, by nature, divisive fgr decision-makers. This problem always has been compounded by lack of apment on the scale of air transpodation demand the region shouId accommodate, Recently, SWAG’S Regional Economic Advisory Committee recommended that planning for major regional facilities quires the collaborative effort of business, labor, universities, and government. This was reinforced by severdl speakers at the Board workshop who emphasized the need for regional consensus. The study process and phasing being recommended by staff is intencied to gain consensus on the value of air transportation to the region’s economy. SANDAG’S experience with ah transportation planning has shown that a successful planning process should involve the right organizations md ageacies in the prepamtion of a scope of work. It is iniportant that rhesa organizations and agencies support the process as well as the product of these studies. Therefore, staff recommends a committee be organized to prepare, a detailed scope of work for assessing the market demand and opportunities for air transportation in the San Diego region. These individuals should include, at a minimum, representatives from the Federal Aviation Administnition, Department of Defense, State Division of Aeronautics, City of San Diego, County of San Diego, San Diego Unified Pori District, SLWAG, business community, labor representatives, academic community, and the Congressional delegation. This committee would form the basis, not only for developing a consensus on the airport study effort, but also assist in s~uring funding for the study, It is intended that the frst phase of the study could be accomplished within 6 nionths after assured funding, at a minimum cost of $150,0f)O. Warket DemqxLSQdy Through this study, the region would attempt to answer the following questions: 1. What is the demand for air transportation now and in the future for the Sm Diego region, the bi-national region, and southern California? What are the opportunities for expanded domestic and international. trade? This analysis would review the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement, as well as potential Pacific Rim Trade on air travel. Specjfically, how do the region’s major industries (e,g,, tourism and the major categories of manufacturing) depend on air transportation? What fortcasts are the airline industry wfiig to share regarding air transportation? 2 2. 3. 4. 0 5. Is there a net economic gain to the figion if it meets its air tmnsportation demand? These and other questions would be reviewed by the advimq group assembled for the scope of work and brought back to the Board for its approval prior to commencement of the study effort.
