Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport Master Plan
This Master Plan for the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport is being undertaken by the Jackson County Airport Authority to outline a long range, orderly direction for airport development which will yield a safe, efficient, economical, and environmentally acceptable air transportation
facility. The study is being funded with passenger facility charges.
The Master Plan provides a step-by-step or phased outline for development and gives the Airport Authority advance notice of pending needs to aid in future scheduling and budgeting. This allows for orderly and timely improvements.

CHAPTER FIVE AIRPORT PLANS.PDF (8656.3KB)
The airport master planning process for Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport has evolved through the development of forecasts of future demand, facility needs assessments, and the evaluation of airport development alternatives. The recommended master plan concept provides for anticipated facility needs over the twenty year planning period (and beyond). This will allow the aviation facility to meet the growing demands of commercial service, air cargo, military, and general aviation needs. The purpose of this chapter is to present the master planning concept in narrative and graphic form.

CHAPTER FOUR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES.PDF(1398.2KB)
In the previous chapter, airside and landside facility needs that would satisfy projected demand over the planning period were identified. The next step in the master planning process is to evaluate the various ways these facilities can be provided. In this chapter, the facility needs will be applied to a series of airport development alternatives. The possible combinations of alternatives can be endless, so some intuitive judgment must be applied to identify those alternatives which have the greatest potential for implementation. The alternatives analysis is an important step in the planning process since it provides the underlying rationale for the final master plan recommendations.

CHAPTER THREE AVIATION FACILITY REQUIREMENTS.PDF(569.1KB)
To properly plan for the future of Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport, it is necessary to translate forecast aviation demand into the specific types and quantities of facilities that can adequately serve this identified demand. This chapter uses the results of the forecasts conducted in Chapter Two, as well as established planning criteria, to determine the airfield (i.e., runways, taxiways, navigational aids, marking and lighting), and landside (i.e., hangars, terminal building, cargo buildings, aircraft parking apron) facility requirements.

CHAPTER TWO FORECASTS.PDF(714.6KB)
Facility planning must begin with a definition of the demand that may reasonably be expected to occur over the specified planning period. In airport planning this involves forecasts of aviation activity indicators that define the level of airport demand. Forecasts of commercial service, general aviation, and air cargo are used as a basis for facility, financial, and environmental planning.
