**Notes:**
While accessing the AOA, it is essential gates be secure when not in use.  Do not allow more than one vehicle to pass through the gate at any time.  It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the gate closes after the vehicle passes through.  If a gate fails to close or if there are any problems or concerns with any gate, report these to airport operations.  A 24-hour service number is posted on the gates for immediate assistance.  When approaching the gate, be sure to come to a full stop and allow the gate arm to fully rise.  Approaching a gate too fast may result in damage to the gate and your vehicle. The owner operator of the vehicle is responsible for damages to a gate from reckless driving.
