Notice of Completion and Availability of the Final EIS JFK International Airport Light Rails System (LRS)

Résumé

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) are Joint Lead Agencies for purposes of implementing the procedures required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, for a proposed transportation system access improvement project for John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), located in Queens, New York. The project is sponsored by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The project is an 8.4 mile light rail system (LRS) that would link the Central Terminal Area at JFK with the regional transit system through service to multimodal hubs at Jamaica Station and Howard Beach Station. The primary purpose of the proposed project is to improve ground access for air passengers and airport employees by providing a safe, quick reliable and efficient means of travel to, from and on the Airport. The proposed LRS will be located primarily within existing transportation rights-of-way and on airport property. The FEIS examines and analyses the potential environmental impacts resulting from the construction of the proposed LRS.
