Non-Movement Ramp Quiz

Tenant vehicles may not enter any runway, taxiway or safety area. Be aware of your location at all times and limit the amount of driving you must do on the aprons and ramp areas to an absolute minimum. Airport tenants are not permitted to operate any vehicle on the commercial airline ramp.

Driving on the airport is a privilege. This privilege may be revoked at any time for any reason.

Persons operating vehicles on movement areas without authorization shall be subject to prosecution of public trespass.

SAFETY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY!
