89 This chapter relates to steps 5 and 6 of the APM planning process described in Chapter 5 and depicted in Figure 9-1. Defining the optimum APM system for a given airport application is an iterative process, as described in the previous chapter.

terminal facilities. In some cases, such systems may eliminate the need for vertical conveyance such as elevators and escalators and facilitate the use of wheelchairs and passenger assist vehicles.

tems are typically publicly owned and financed. As a result, the airport's APM financing strategies involve one or more of the commonly used public financing tools.

Landside APM systems linking to revenue generating facilities -- An option in cases where landside APM systems link terminals with parking and rental car facilities is to apply a portion of the revenue generated by these facilities to cover the debt service or O&M costs for an APM system, particularly if the APM replaces a shuttle bus operation. Multi-tiered debt structure -- Interest rates and debt coverage requirements can vary for different forms of finance (debt coverage or ratio of revenue to annual debt service)

Off-Site Considerations The FTA has recognized APMs constructed to access off-site areas as a technology option that would fall under its purview for approval of environmental documentation. While the sponsoring agency for the specific project may be the FAA, the FTA will likely act in a reviewing capacity for APMs that are constructed to access off-site locations.

Mitigation -- This section summarizes any necessary mitigation options considered and the proposed mitigation plan for the preferred alternative. Additionally, the documentation of construction-related mitigation strategies will be essential for APM facilities since elevated structures will have higher noise and vibration impacts during the construction phase.
