This 2019 Aviation Committee document outlines Sea-Tac Airport's Ground Transportation Framework, detailing the guiding principles, goals, and strategies for managing how passengers and vehicles move through the airport. Key goals include reducing environmental impact (50% scope 3 emissions reduction), cutting private vehicle pick-up and drop-off to 30% of trips, and achieving a 15-minute tower-to-curb travel time. Strategies span infrastructure planning (SAMP), access policy (GTAP), day-to-day operations, and taxi/TNC contracts, with Port policies providing overarching guidance across all areas.

This document is the Sea-Tac International Airport Tariff No. 1, originally issued by the Port of Seattle Commission in 1980 and effective January 1, 1981, with subsequent revisions through 2018. It outlines the rates and charges for use of airport facilities and services, covering areas such as landing fees, airline charges, parking, ground transportation, utilities, security, and various violation fines. The tariff serves as the official schedule of fees governing commercial and operational activities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

This 2018 Port of Seattle briefing outlines near-term traffic mitigation strategies for Sea-Tac Airport's increasingly congested roadway system, which was originally designed for 5 million annual passengers but now handles far greater volumes. Key measures include a Traffic Mitigation Plan that restricts access to southbound airport freeways during peak periods, and a new TNC 'Re-Match' program that allows rideshare drivers who have just dropped off passengers to immediately pick up new ones without returning to the remote 160th Street holding lot. The Re-Match pilot reduced passenger wait times by one-third and eliminated an estimated 30,000 deadheading trips in December 2017, while also reducing expressway congestion near the terminal.
