Subject: ACRP 03 24 Guidelines for Air Cargo Facility Planning and Development October 26, 2012 Dear Airport Planner, The Transportation Research Board, Airports Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) is conducting a study entitled Guidelines for Air Cargo Facility Planning and Development (ACRP 03-24). The objective of this research is to develop guidelines for air cargo facility planning and development at airports. Our contact at ACRP is Mr. Larry Goldstein, and I am the Principal Investigator. I am contacting you to invite your airport to participate in this important study. Attached is a survey to gather information related to air cargo facilities at your airport as well as your airport’s air cargo facilities planning strategy. The data collection process will resemble the cargo element of a master plan data collection effort. A survey for your airport planners to complete is attached. Part I collects data on current activity and planned facilities while Part II collects data on existing cargo facilities. Please complete and return the survey within three weeks of receipt. The participation we need from your airport includes completing the survey and providing us a contact list of local air cargo related businesses and government agencies. Contact information for air cargo businesses and related government agencies is requested on the second to last page of the survey. These businesses and agencies will be surveyed by our team as well in a separate survey. Your assistance in notifying the local cargo industry of our effort can be critically important to establishing credibility with them, whether via a newsletter, email, or cargo association meeting. For more information on the project please visit: http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=3039 Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

May 21, 2012 Subject: ACRP 03 24 Guidelines for Air Cargo Facility Planning and Development Dear Air Cargo Business Manager, On behalf of the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), your air cargo organization is being asked to participate in an air cargo facility research study. The ACRP is an industry-driven, applied research program that develops near-term, practical solutions to challenges faced by airport operators. ACRP is managed by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies and sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The objective of this research is to develop guidelines for air cargo facility planning and development on and near airports, including the collection of necessary data in support of this effort. These guidelines should assist airport operators in crafting effective business policies and development decisions to meet the industry’s current and future technological, operational, and security challenges in a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally conscientious manner. They should also include updated metrics to help guide the overall air cargo development planning process. The potential beneficiaries of these guidelines would include airport owners and operators, airlines, integrated cargo carriers, cargo handlers, developers, financial institutions, and others linked to the airport community. The guidelines will inform both the protection of land resources required for long-term development as well as provide near-term facilities direction for specific types of users. The Principal Investigator is Mr. Michael Maynard of CDM Smith. The enclosed survey will allow our research team to better understand current cargo facility occupancy and utilization at a variety of airport environments, as well as to recognize innovative facility design criteria.

Please complete the enclosed survey within the next 10 days of receipt. Should you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact Mr. Michael Maynard at maynardmk@cdmsmith.com or by phone at 513-716-6558. The survey may be completed and returned via online data entry, postage paid mailer (enclosed), or sent by FAX 312-461-0015. For more information on the project, please visit: http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=3039. Thank you for your assistance. Michael K.
