Overview of the “Last Mile Problem”
• GA airports are part of a larger community economic ecosystem
• People fly into your airport from all over, but rarely is the airport their final destination!

• Maintaining connectivity between local businesses and the airport should be a priority for airport managers and fixed base operators
• I know of one occasion where visitors actually have to cross state lines to get into town!
