location or some other heavily populated location that offers
transit connectivity. Because of the remote location of these
facilities, they would likely provide fewer passenger-processing
functions. Although these types of facilities have had some
success in Europe and Asia, the decentralized nature of the re-
gional transportation network in the majority of U.S. cities
may not be as conducive to implementation of RPPFs. ACRP
Project 10-02, "Planning Guide for Offsite Terminals," provides
guidance for determining the feasibility of an off-airport re-
mote terminal. Therefore, this research project will focus on
potential concepts for those remote facilities assuming that
their feasibility has already been established.
Alternatives
The RPPF alternatives include a range of potential services
and would primarily be applicable to airports in cities where
there is an established regional transportation network and
sufficient demand to justify connection to the airport. The
passenger-processing functions that would be included in
each RPPF alternative are described below.
Alternative 1
RPPF Alternative 1 (see Figure 5-14) would provide a
basic remote location where passengers could board a
non-secure link to the airport. A relatively simple support
facility would be provided with a waiting room and board-
ing pass kiosks. Passengers would also be able to park their
vehicles or be dropped off at the RPPF. It is envisioned that
the RPPF would also connect with the local or regional transit
system.

drop-off and pickup. An arrivals lounge is depicted adjacent
to the shuttle-bus pickup curbside. As described in Chapter 6,
the lounge would provide a comfortable passenger waiting
environment with video monitors to relay real-time infor-
mation on shuttle arrival times and parking locations.
Remote Passenger-Processing
Facilities
The RPPF involves a remote passenger-processing facility
that would be located off airport property, possibly in an urban Figure 5-14. RPPF Alternative 1.
