Vermont Airport System Plan

The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is currently in the process of updating the Vermont Airport System Plan (VASP). The VASP represents Vermont’s long-range vision and goals that will guide the planning and development of Vermont’s public use airports. The Plan will be developed within the framework of the State’s Three Priority Goals:

Making Vermont More Affordable
Growing the Economy
Protecting the Vulnerable

The VASP will include an evaluation of the adequacy and performance of Vermont’s public airports, forecasts of future performance, the setting of goals and recommendations, and an economic impact assessment.

Ultimately, the VASP will provide guidance into how Vermont’s public use airports can remain safe, competitive, and responsive to its users, stakeholders, and the publics’ needs.

Outreach

VTrans wants to ensure Vermont’s public use airports meet the needs of airport users, stakeholders, and members of the public. Towards that end, VTrans will be scheduling a series of public meetings throughout the planning process, meeting with individual airport officials, and working with the Vermont Aviation Advisory Council (VAAC), who will serve as the project advisory committee for the Plan.

Project Advisory Committee

The VAAC is an executive-appointed council tasked with evaluating policy and making aviation recommendations to VTrans. Its members include aviation stakeholders from across the state with a broad range of knowledge and experience in airports, aviation, and economic development. VAAC meetings are being held through the process to help guide the development of the Plan.
