The SAGA website was developed to help airport operators develop sustainability programs and provide guidelines to those who have new data to input. The website contains entries on more than 900 sustainability practices that were developed by SAGA's initial stakeholder group.

ACRP Synthesis 93 compiles information and examples that successfully demonstrate the value of building sustainability concepts into capacity-enhancing projects. The report describes additional resources and tools that provide information on how to select, apply, and communicate sustainability measures. The report explores how sustainability efforts often build on themselves, how lessons learned from one initiative are carried through to the next, and how this progressive learning process can enhance sustainability's role in capacity-enhancing projects over time.

This advisory circular (AC) provides information on community/public involvement in airport planning. This AC is intended to advise airport sponsors, planners, and the public on the benefits of early public participation in airport planning, and the methods by which this participation may be achieved.

This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance for the preparation of master plans for airports that range in size and function, from small general aviation to large commercial service facilities. The intent of this AC is to foster a flexible approach to master planning that directs attention and resources to critical issues. The scope of each master plan must be tailored to the individual airport under evaluation.

ACRP Report 16, second edition, is designed to help airport practitioners, owners, operators, managers, and policymakers of small airports, who may have varying degrees of experience and backgrounds, to fulfill their responsibilities in such areas as financial management, oversight of contracts and leases, safety and security, noise impacts, community relations, compliance with federal and state obligations, facility maintenance, and capital improvements. The first edition has been edited and reformatted for currency, relevance, and usability and updated with additional information and new subject areas (e.g., unmanned aircraft systems, geographic information systems, digital notices to airmen, social media, and federal and state obligations). Also, hyperlinks to many of the documents and resources mentioned in this report, such as ACRP publications, industry sources, and sample checklists, have been collected into ACRP WebResource 6: Resources for Managing Small Airports.

ACRP Research Report 208 provides guidelines on using benefit–cost analysis (BCA) to identify, evaluate, and select airport stormwater management projects. Many airports undertake stormwater projects to accommodate facility expansion, address obsolescence, and respond to evolving regulatory requirements. Often, stormwater infrastructure is installed or upgraded on a project-by-project and piecemeal basis, resulting in mismatches of sizes, material types, ages, and conditions. When airports are considering expanding or improving their stormwater facilities, the immediate need for stormwater infrastructure modification may not be clear, and a BCA is needed. The report will be particularly helpful for small airports that may not have BCA expertise or experience with innovative stormwater projects.

This advisory circular (AC) provides updated guidance on the process of planning airport passenger terminal facilities.

ACRP Research Report 178 provides information on the advantages and disadvantages of permeable pavement at airports of different types and sizes. The information includes potential installation locations, such as airside and landside applications; environmental, operational, and economic considerations; and a decision matrix to examine applicability of installations.

ACRP Web-Only Document 46 finds that supply chains, advanced stakeholder engagement, value chain collaboration, and a globally standardized and adopted approach may be needed to increase and better monetize the recovery of Non-Contaminated Recyclable Materials (NCRM). With a multi-stakeholder approach, airports, airlines, and flight kitchens, along with support partners, can affect the recovery efficiency of NCRM. Through these collaborative efforts, gaps in supply and collection chains can be addressed.

TRB conducted a webinar that featured research conducted by ACRP on using guidebooks for identifying and incorporating sustainable practices, green technologies, and recycling strategies into traditional airport projects. Sustainable initiatives, carried out through various recycling strategies as well as everyday maintenance activities, are becoming common in airport improvement projects. This webinar will benefit airport decision makers and their staff who need to identify and evaluate alternative sustainable design concepts and technologies.

Airports can use Building Information Modeling (BIM) practices to improve their facility operations and asset management processes. TRB is hosting a webinar that will present data collected from a digital survey of over 60 airports and interviews with airport staff, consultants, and contractors. Presenters will identify industries with similar infrastructure management, such as healthcare and universities, to provide examples of where BIM has been more widely used beyond the design phase of capital projects. They will also discuss how to implement BIM, how to develop a business case for BIM, and how to establish governance of the BIM program within an organization. The webinar will present case studies to illustrate how BIM can lower the life cycle cost of managing airports while improving reliability, safety, and quality. This topic is particularly relevant during this coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response period where airports are struggling to reduce costs while trying to improve the cleanliness and safety of their terminals.
