THE BATTALION
TTI to Develop State’s Air Transportation Plan
Texas Transportation Institute
has been selected to develop a far-
reaching air transportation plan
for the state, announced A&M
President Earl Rudder.
Rudder said the interagency
agreement between Texas A&M
and the Planning Division of the
Governor’s Office will be modeled
after the agreement between TTI
and the Texas Highway Depart
ment.
First-year funds of $70,000 are
being provided by the Texas Aero
nautics Commission through a
matching grant from the U. S.
Department of Housing and Ur
ban Development.
“The objective of the plan,”
Rudder noted, “is to make air
transportation serve the people
and economy of Texas to the best
possible degree.”
Emphasis will be placed on
local and regional economic needs
for existing and future air trans
portation facilities to serve com
mercial, industrial, agricultural
and recreational activities.
Officials said the study must
take into account general aviation,
as well as commercial aviation.
“We will be working closely
with the airlines and airport op
erators, along with the councils
of government and regional plan
ning agencies of the state,” said
Gen. John P. Doyle (USAF-Ret.),
principal investigator for the
project.
Specifically, the Texas Air
Transportation Plan will identify
new and expanded facilities and
services required to serve general
and commercial aviation. It will
be coordinated with other modes
of transportation, with emphasis
on improving the commercial com
petitive position of the state.
Doyle said the task will include
updating an earlier airport plan
and conduct detailed studies of
the number, location and types
of airports, heliports and seaplane
bases needed in Texas.
The plan, he continued, will
determine expanding needs for
scheduled interstate and intra
state air transportation required
to augment other transportation
facilities and services.
An important aspect of the
plan, the general added, will be
coordination of air transportation
service and facilities needs with
other types of transportation —
rail, water and highway — utiliz
ing existing and newly establish
ed state and regional agencies.
TTI also will be asked during
the study to make pertinent
recommendations concerning the
changing role of the Texas Aero
nautics Commission and the state-
federal government relationship
in the field of aviation.
“This is a part of a general
effort to continue broadening the
activities of the Texas Transpor.
tation Institute across the entire
field of transportation,” TTI Dj.
rector Jack Keese said.
Assisting Gen. Doyle with the
air transportation plans will he
Dr. Vergil Stover, TTI’s trans.
portation planning program man-
ager; John Goodnight, project en
gineer, and Bob Hammons, former
Braniff International station
manager at Austin who joined
the institute this month.
