Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

21 This guidebook contains a CD, the ASAT, which guides the user through the basic framework of a sustainability decision-making process (Figure 3). ASAT offers results for users who are on three different tracks of desired assistance: Track 1: designed for those who are already considering implementation of a particular sustain- ability strategy and want to know more about it; Track 2: designed for those who are searching for ideas of sustainability strategies for potential implementation at their airport; and Track 3: designed for those who are interested in learning what sustainability initiatives other airports have implemented.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 80: Guidebook for Incorporating Sustainability into Traditional Airport Projects describes sustainability and its potential benefits, and identifies different applications of sustainable initiatives in traditional airport construction and everyday maintenance projects.

The printed version of the report includes a CD-ROM that includes an airport sustainability assessment tool (ASAT) that complements the guidebook and may be used to assist in identifying sustainability initiatives that might be most applicable to an airport project. Through case studies, the tool also allows users to obtain more information about specific strategies and learn about sustainability initiatives that have been implemented in other airports. The case studies are also available for download in PDF format.

The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website in two formats, either as an Excel file or an ISO image.
