History

• 2002 Commission on the Future of the United
  States Aerospace Industry
• The Administration should immediately create
  a multi-agency task forceto develop an
  integrated plan to transform our air
  transportation system.The Joint Program
  Officebrings together needed participation from
  FAA, NASA, DoD, DHS, NOAA, and other government
  organizations. Within a year, the Joint Program
  Office should present a plan to the
  Administration and the Congress outlining the
  overall strategy, schedule, and resources needed
  to develop and deploy the nations next
  generation air transportation system
• January 2003 DOT Secretary Mineta/FAA
  Administrator Blakey formed Joint Planning Office

Public Law 108-176 December 12, 2003FAA
ReauthorizationVision 100

• Establishes the Joint Planning and Development
  Office (JPDO)
• Establishes a multi- agency Senior Policy
  Committee
• Requires the JPDO to
• Operate in conjunction with relevant programs in
  specified government agencies
• Consult with the public and ensure the
  participation of experts from a broad range of
  entities within the private sector
• Establishes the requirement for an integrated
  national plan
• Plan must meet air transportation safety,
  security, efficiency and capacity needs beyond
  those currently included in the Operational
  Evolution Plan (FAA 10-year outlook)

Integrated Plan Requirements

• National vision statement for an air
  transportation system that will meet the
  potential demand by 2025
• Description of the demand and future system
  performance characteristics including goals,
  objectives and policies and underlying
  assumptions and analyses
• Multiagency RD roadmap
• Description of operational concepts to meet
  projected system performance requirements with
  timelines and budget requirements to meet 2025
  vision
• Note Plan delivered to Congress December 12th,
  2004

Governance and Execution

• Senior Policy Committee (SPC)
• Chaired by Secretary of Transportation Mineta
• Secretary-level group in some cases (DOD)
  participation is delegated)
• Three SPC meetings held since October 2003
• Joint Planning and Development office (JPDO)
• Integrated Product Teams (IPTs)

Key Issues

• JPDO Goals
• Program scope is curb-to-curb
• Triple 2001 capacity
• 30 reduction in consumer time
• 25 reduction in consumer cost
• Budget
• Department budgetary authority not transferred
• Direct OMB interaction
• Level of programmatic authority still under review

• Forecasts (includes wake vortex)
• Dissemination (weather information network)
• Integration (probabilistic decision tools)
• Training (Meteorologist/pilot/controller/dispatch)
  
• Mitigation (aircraft equipage)
• Policy/Outreach under consideration
