Abstract
This dissertation represents an initial effort to develop, evaluate, and apply performance measures for assessing alternative state airport systems. Performance measures indicate the precise operational meaning of each term in a goal or objective statement and provide for the scaling of how far the objective is obtained in any defined system. The primary objectives of the study were: (1) to identify quantifiable performance measures applicable to airport system planning; (2) to demonstrate the application of performance measures for evaluation of proposed alternative airport systems; and (3) to demonstrate the application of performance measures as part of a priority programming process for airport financial grants. It was concluded that the use of performance measures can improve the airport system planning process by quantifying system objectives, linking system objectives and system performance, clarifying trade-offs among system alternatives, and by synthesizing information for decision makers. Performance measures and the individual airport components of performance measures also can be used to improve the process for programming state and federal airport grant funds.
