摘要：	The major purpose of this study was to utilize the abundant information collected in the American Travel Survey (ATS) to evaluate the accessibility of U.S. airports and to gain a better understanding of the pattern of air passenger traffic among competing airports. In this paper, no effort was made to use modeling approaches to study airport choices. Instead, the objective here was to utilize air travel data collected by the ATS to identify regional, socioeconomic, and demographic factors that influence airport accessibility. First, the ATS person demographic file is utilized to compare the demographic characteristics of persons who took at least one trip by air in 1995 with those people who traveled exclusively by other modes. Characteristics of travelers also are compared to non-travelers (i.e., people who took no long-distance trips in 1995). This information is used to determine what demographic factors may influence whether travelers choose to (or are able to) travel by commercial air. Second, the more detailed ATS person-trip file is used in conjunction with data from the demographic file to determine which factors may affect the airport accessibility. Specifically, the following issues are addressed: (1) the geographic area served by selected airports; (2) variability of mode utilized by travelers to access selected airports; (3) the effect of trip purpose, duration and income on access mode; (4) rail access; and (5) egress mode chosen by travelers to selected metropolitan areas.
