Reducing runway incursions is one of our top priorities. Through infrastructure improvements---like lighting, signage, marking, and configuration changes---and new technologies---such as Runway Status Lights and Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X---we are working to further reduce incursions and increase airfield safety.
