This April 2018 Port of Seattle briefing examines traffic congestion challenges at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), whose roadway system was originally designed in 1968 for just 5 million annual passengers. It reviews how a major road realignment in 2008 for Light Rail helped reduce gridlock by removing return-to-terminal loop ramps and cutting recirculating vehicle traffic by 40%. The briefing emphasizes that managing landside access at SEA requires a comprehensive, long-term strategic policy to handle the airport's growing transportation demands.

The Commission was set to incorporate feedback and formally adopt the priorities at a follow-up meeting on February 27, 2018.
