Congratulations to Eric Potts, Account Director, Pearland, who was appointed as the new Vice Chair for the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Oversight Committee in July. Eric has served on the Oversight Committee since 2013; he will be working alongside Committee Chair Deborah Flint, who is the executive Director of Los Angeles World Airports.
The primary participants of the ACRP are:
- An independent governing board established by the Secretary of U.S. Department Transportation with representation from airport operating agencies, other stakeholders, and relevant industry organizations such as the American Association of AirportExecutives (AAAE), the Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA), Airport Consultants Council (ACC), the National Association of StateAviation Officials (NASAO), and Airlines for America (A4A) as vital links to the airport community
- The Transportation Research Board (TRB) as program manager and secretariat for the governing board
- The FAA as program sponsor
The ACRP enlists the cooperation and participation of airport professionals, state and local government officials, equipment and service suppliers, other airport users, and research organizations. Each of these participants has different interests and responsibilities, and each is an integral part of this cooperative research effort.
The ACRP undertakes research and other technical activities in a variety of airport subject areas including design, construction, maintenance, operations, safety, security, policy, planning, human resources, and administration.
