Jacobs Drives Transformation at Denver International Airport
Jacobs, a leading global professional services firm, has been selected to provide program management support services for the new Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility (ConRAC) and the Common Transportation System (CTS) at Denver International Airport (DEN). This initiative is a vital part of the airport's extensive capital improvement plan intended to boost safety, elevate passenger experience, and establish a world-renowned sustainable aviation hub.
As one of the fastest-growing airports in the world, DEN anticipates accommodating more than 120 million passengers by 2045. The ConRAC and CTS projects are pivotal to facilitating this growth, ensuring travelers enjoy a seamless car rental experience, including an accessible transportation system connecting the rental facility to the terminal.
Steve Pelham, Jacobs' Vice President and Transportation Director for the Americas, elaborated on the benefits of these projects: "Consolidating rental car operations into a single facility linked to the main terminal through a common transportation system will not only reduce traffic in the terminal area but also eliminate the reliance on unsustainable shuttle bus operations. This will free up valuable curb space and enable the redevelopment of existing surface lots for future needs."
Moreover, Jacobs will leverage its extensive global program management experience alongside specialized knowledge in electric vehicle infrastructure, traffic design, and customer interface technologies. This approach aims to support the airport's expanding capacity while also prioritizing environmental sustainability through smart solutions.
Jacobs Executive Vice President, Eva Wood, emphasized the airport's economic significance to Colorado: "Denver International Airport is a major growth engine for the state. Our continued partnership with the airport, dating back to its inception, affirms our commitment to fostering its next chapter of development."
Since 1992, Jacobs has played a crucial role in enhancing the airport, having successfully completed over 60 critical projects. These include notable initiatives like the Great Hall Improvement Program and the award-winning Concourse Expansion Program.
