TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, September 8, 2016, from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that features research conducted by TRB’s
Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) that provides guidance and information on the economic valuation of airports and air cargo operations. The economic impact of airports is often assessed at a local or regional level to educate communities about how their airports contribute to the area’s economy and to support airport infrastructure investments and ongoing expenditures to policy makers.
This webinar will provided 1.5 Continuing Education Units for Accredited Airport Executives. This webinar was approved by the American Institute of Certified Planners for 1.5 Certification Maintenance Credits.
Here are the slides.
