The Airport. Tampa International Airport is located about 6 miles from the center of
Tampa. The airport served about 19.0 MAP in 2005; of these, some 8.1 million were originating
passengers. Under conditions of no highway congestion, the driving time from the airport to
downtown is 12 minutes. The airport currently attracts about 0.6 million travelers per year who
use public, high-occupancy modes to the airport.
Connections at the Airport. Like the nearby Orlando airport, Tampa airport operates with
one consolidated landside air terminal. However, the design of the terminal calls for publicly
available transportation services to depart from four separate "Commercial Ground Trans-
portation Quadrants."
Bus/Van. Shared-ride van service to Hillsborough County is provided by Bay Shuttle, while
service to Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando Counties is provided by Super Shuttle. In the most
recent survey data available, they attract about 6% of the air traveler market. Traditional public
transit buses are provided to Tampa and to Sarasota; the Tampa service stops at one curb loca-
tion, while the Sarasota bus stops at two of the four quadrants.

The Airport. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is located about 21 miles from the
center of Dallas. The airport served about 59.2 MAP in 2005; of these, some 10.7 million were
originating passengers. Under conditions of no highway congestion, the driving time from
the airport to downtown is 24 minutes. The airport currently attracts about 0.6 million travel-
ers per year who use public, high-occupancy modes to the airport.
Connections at the Airport. Dallas/Fort Worth airport is one of the most decentralized air-
ports in the world, which is a challenge to the designer of shared ground transportation services.
Currently there are five terminals, each with two clearly definable baggage claim locations. The
airport roadway system connecting these terminals is itself a series of loops, and the task of assem-
bling a shared-ride group of passengers for an outbound vehicle trip can take a considerable
amount of time.
Rail. The Centre Point/DFW station has been built on the new Trinity Railway Express that
operates between Dallas to the east and Fort Worth to the west of the airport. The station is located
about 6.5 miles from the center of the airport. Service is operated Monday through Saturday, but
not on Sundays. From the rail station, airline passengers are expected to take a shuttle bus, with
service every 15 minutes and an 11-minute travel time, to the airport's Remote South Parking Lot.
There the airport runs three shuttle buses: one to Terminals A and C, one to Terminals B and E,
and one to Terminal D.
