Each year, more than 35 million people and 400,000 tons of freight cargo pass through the region’s three major airports—Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA), Washington Dulles International (IAD), and Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall (BWI) airports. In all, the airports directly or indirectly support more than 450,000 jobs and some $50 billion in annual economic activity.
The TPB, through its Continuous Airport Systems Planning program, supports the planning, development, and operation of airport facilities and the transportation facilities that serve them. This work includes monitoring local air travel patterns, forecasting future air passenger and air cargo needs, and developing plans for improving how people and goods get to and from the region’s airports.
