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.
