SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Sacramento International Airport (SMF) has launched a public survey as part of its Airport Master Plan update, inviting travelers, residents and community members to share their priorities for the airport's future.

The Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive, long-range planning document that guides development and improvements over a 20-year horizon. The plan evaluates existing facilities, forecasts future passenger and aircraft activity, identifies infrastructure needs, and outlines a recommended development strategy shaped in part by input from the public.

“This master plan is about more than buildings and runways. It is about understanding what our community needs from its airport for decades to come,” said Cindy Nichol, director of airports for Sacramento County. “We are asking the people who fly through SMF and live in this region to tell us what matters most to them.”

The public survey is now open and takes only a few minutes to complete. Residents and travelers are encouraged to share feedback on topics including flight options, terminal amenities, parking, and accessibility.

To take the survey, visit: www.surveymonkey.com/r/K78P5PJ

Public participation is a key component of the master plan. Input gathered through the survey and community outreach will help inform facility recommendations, capital improvement priorities and the airport's long-term development strategy.

The survey will remain open through Aug. 14. For more information about the SMF Airport Master Plan, visit the Department of Airports website at sacramento.aero/about/planning_design.
