    Airport drives traffic enhancement briefing

    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.

    Flight track map depicts aircraft operations for Seattle – Tacoma International Airport on March 1-2, 2018

    These flight track maps from the Port of Seattle show aircraft arrival, departure, and overflight paths at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on March 1–2, 2018. On March 1, the airport operated predominantly in South Flow (87% of operations, 953 flights), with a brief period of North Flow (13%, 145 flights); on March 2, all 1,118 operations were conducted entirely in South Flow. The maps illustrate how flight corridors shift direction depending on the flow configuration, affecting which surrounding communities—such as those north of the airport near Shoreline and Mountlake Terrace versus those to the south near Auburn and Pacific—experience the greatest noise exposure.
