According to the FAA Runway Safety Report (2004), vehicle deviations accounted for 20% (291 events) of all runway incursions during the four and a half-year period of 2000 through 2003. The focus of this quantitative correlational study examined if a relationship existed between the methods used for airport movement area driver training and the number of incursions at 18 of the OEP-35 U.S. towered airports. Airport driver training officials at 18 of the OEP-35 airports were surveyed using a five-point Likert-type survey. The data from this study suggested a relationship exists between the methods used for airport driver training and the number of runway incursions at the largest U.S. towered airports. The data from this study might help to reduce airport liability exposure, property damage, and lower airport liability insurance cost to U.S. airport owners.
