TRB Webinar: NextGen for Airports - Introduction and Overview

TRB conducted a webinar on Monday, May 22, 2017, from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that features research conducted by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) on the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). NextGen refers to federal programs that are designed to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS).

This webinar provided an overview of NextGen, the summary of issues affecting airports, and an introduction to Volumes 3, 4, and 5 of the report series. The other volumes in the report series will be the focus of a webinar on Wednesday, May 24, 2017.
