System and Policy Plan

The Vermont Agency of Transportation has developed the Airport System and Policy Plan to be used by VTrans and airport sponsors to guide development of airports in Vermont in the coming years. The policy plan provides the tools to begin employing asset management principles, including performance measures, to better manage the State’s airport system. Modal Policy plans are updated at five year increments.

An Airport System Plan provides a top down, statewide analysis of the entire system’s needs and ability to adequately serve the entire state. Airport master plans serve as the local planning resources, analyzing needs from the “bottom up”.
