How will high-speed passenger rail service impact the Rochester airport?
With current high fuel prices and consolidation in the airline industry, flights between regional airports in smaller markets are potentially at risk. Inter-regional high speed passenger rail may provide an alternative to such “short hop” flights. In addition, depending on the route, regional airports could be linked to major airports by passenger rail to relieve congestion and improve efficiency of the major airports while taking advantage of existing capacity at regional airports.
