... 19 3.1 Background A key task of ACRP Project 02-28 was to conduct an extensive stakeholder outreach effort to solicit initial input (Phase I) and then more targeted input (Phase II)

... 20 Prototype Airport Sustainability Rating System -- Characteristics, Viability, and Implementation Options Stakeholder Participants in Outreach Effort The number of airport industry representatives participating in this research varied depending on the outreach phase. Phase I Outreach Participants Phase I stakeholder outreach sought participation from a large number of representatives and reached a total of 195 airport industry representatives, including participants who work for airports, consulting firms, government agencies, and other types of employers (Figure 3-2)

... Phase I and Phase II Stakeholder Outreach 23 Phase I Stakeholder Outreach The opinions of airport representatives track very closely with the opinions of other airport industry stakeholders throughout the variety of stakeholder outreach instruments. This was especially evident in the on-line survey.
From page 24...
... 24 Prototype Airport Sustainability Rating System -- Characteristics, Viability, and Implementation Options implementing a sustainability program rather than rating airport sustainability performance. Airport representatives did indicate interest in having the option to compare to other similar airports; motivations expressed for doing so were primarily to learn from and benchmark against other airports rather than to make competitive comparisons.
From page 25...
... Phase I and Phase II Stakeholder Outreach 25 Performance Metrics and Actions The Prototype Rating System evaluates sustainability performance using both performance metrics and performance actions. Figure 3-5 presents examples of each evaluation type, both of which promote flexibility by allowing airports of all types, sizes, and locations to choose how best to improve sustainability.
From page 26...
... 26 Prototype Airport Sustainability Rating System -- Characteristics, Viability, and Implementation Options Stakeholder Input. Stakeholders support the use of both metrics and actions, although they give particular weight to performance metrics, which they value as offering an objective, outcomes-based measurement of how successful an airport has been toward achieving a goal.
