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 /> 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 /> ay trips/op = 345,000 annual vehicle trips; 345,000 <br /> Annual vehicle trips 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 appropriat <br /> for this study. <br /> (4. <br /> This concludes our comments. Please advise if we can be of <br /> further aSsistance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bruce E. Matthews <br /> Airport rovelopment Specialist <br /> cc: Mx.
