49 U.S.C. § 49102 — Purpose
submitted 29 years ago by Pub. L. 105-102 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 120 words · no verdicts yet
This chapter's goal is to hand over the 2 Washington airports to a local authority through a long-term lease. Virginia and D.C. must jointly create that authority, so the airports can be run locally. The chapter doesn't stop the authority from later adding Baltimore/Washington International Airport to a regional system.
The purpose of this chapter is to authorize the transfer of operating responsibility under long-term lease of the 2 Metropolitan Washington Airport properties as a unit, including access highways and other related facilities, to a properly constituted independent airport authority created by Virginia and the District of Columbia, in order to achieve local control, management, operation, and development of these important transportation assets.
This chapter does not prohibit the Airports Authority and Maryland from making an agreement to make Baltimore/Washington International Airport part of a regional airports authority, subject to terms agreed to by the Airports Authority, the Secretary of Transportation, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland.
