TRB Webinar: The Impact of Regulatory Compliance and Through-the-Fence Operations on Small Airports
TRB conducted a webinar on March 5, 2015, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET that featured research conducted by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) on the effects of regulatory compliance costs on small airports and the implementation of Through-the Fence (TTF) operations (outside entities gaining access to the airport’s airside infrastructure). Webinar presenters discussed best practices and practical applications to educate airport management and policymakers on how these matters impact small airports and general aviation.
This webinar was organized by the
Airport Cooperative Research Program in collaboration with the
TRB Standing Committee on Intergovernmental Relations in Aviation (AV010).
This webinar provided 1.5 Continuing Education Units for Accredited Airport Executives.
