The Vermont Agency of Transportation 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 integrated planning, operations, 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, policies, 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 this 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 other statewide issues impacting the state's public use airports. VAAC meetings are being held through the course of the Plan Update to help guide the development of the Plan.
