What kinds of air quality mitigation measures are in the Master Plan?
The highly successful Van Nuys FlyAway park-and-ride program will be expanded to a number of other areas around the region, removing thousands of LAX-bound vehicles from the freeways. The Consolidated Rental Car Facility (RAC) will consolidate all on-airport rental car operations and connect to the Central Terminal Area and Intermodal Transportation Center via a people mover system, eliminating the impacts of more than 1 million shuttles trips a year. LAX now provides special aircraft electrical power at almost all of its passenger air carrier operations gates so that it is no longer necessary for pilots to idle their auxiliary power engines, thereby reducing tons of aircraft emissions per year. More than 80 percent of the airport’s gates are using energy-saving preconditioned air, resulting in a reduction of tons of aircraft emissions annually. The airport operates a 55-bus clean fuel fleet system. LAWA has also converted more than 45 percent of its 730-vehicle fleet to clean-burning
