Vehicle Requirements

 

Company Markings

All vehicles operating on the AOA (airport ramp), except those under escort, must have company markings on both sides. The markings must have letters at least two inches high in a contrasting color that are visible from a distance of 50 feet. Acceptable markings are magnetic signs, window placards, or those painted directly on the vehicle. 

Hand-generated signs are not authorized.

 

Airport-Issued Ramp Permits

All vehicles operating on the AOA, except those under escort, must also have an airport-issued ramp permit.

• Ramp permits are good for two years, unless issued to a contractor. 
• Contractor ramp permits are good for the duration of the construction project. A deposit of $50.00 is required for each permit. The deposit is refunded when the project is closed out provided the ramp permit is returned.

Permits are available from the Access Control/ID Badging Office.

 

Exceptions

• Non-traditional vehicles operated on the air operations area are not required to have a ramp access permit BUT must still meet the requirements for company markings. A non-traditional vehicle is one that through original design, intent or manufacture, was not intended for use on public streets, such as ATV’s, belt loaders, tugs, forklifts, and golf carts.
• Equipment (backhoes, graders, etc.) that remains at the job site does not require a ramp permit and may be stored in the staging area; however, it must be identified with a company name or logo.  
• Vehicles under escort are not required to have markings or a ramp permit.
