. <br /> Mr. Jim Pollaty <br /> June 30 , 1982 <br /> Page 2 <br /> use two different figures depending upon their analysis of <br /> potential airport use. One figure is that each aircraft <br /> operation Would generate 2.5 one-way highway trips. The other <br /> figure is that each based aircraft would generate 5. 8 daily <br /> _ <br /> one-way- highway trips. Calculations for-Midway Airport result. <br /> in the folOwing figures. <br /> A. Based on Operations <br /> 500 annual ops/based aircraft x 276 based aircraft <br /> = 138,000 annual ops. ; 138 ,000 annual ops x 2.5 high- <br /> way trips/op = 345 ,000 annual vehicle trips; 345 ,000 <br /> annual vehicle trips i. 365 days = 945 vehicle trips <br /> 1 <br /> per day. <br /> B. Based on Based Aircraft <br /> 276 based aircraft x 5. 8 highway trips = 1600 vehicle <br /> trips per day <br /> We understand that the Division of Highways is most comfortable <br /> with figures based upon annual operations. Thus , we tend to <br /> accept the 945 vehicle trips per day as being the most appropriate <br /> fa-Chis study. <br /> This conclp.des our comments. Please advise if we can be of <br /> further assistance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bruce E.
