B Camarillo CA 93010 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I have been a practicing attorney since 1981 and a resident of Ventura since 1989. During the past twenty-plus years I have traveled to client locations, to visit family members, and on vacation trips between 100
- 200 times. My preference is to avoid the nightmarish traffic to and from LAX and Burbank. Some years ago I was able to do this conveniently from the Oxnard Airport, connecting through Phoenix. Sometimes I also flew from Oxnard Airport to LAX, so my husband would not be inconvenienced by a long drive to drop me off, and to save on parking and shuttle fees. Since that service was discontinued it has been a continuing struggle to find convenient flights that don't require us to leave home five or six hours before the flight to be able to check in and get through screening in a timely manner. PLEASE PROVIDE WHATEVER FUNDING IS NEEDED TO HELP TO BRING BACK COMMERCIAL AIRLINE SERVICES TO OXNARD AIRPORT. Thank you very much. Sincerely,

As a past resident and local business person in Oxnard the lack of direct access to the area has had a negative impact on the ability to visit local business professionals, colleagues and friends. With the nearest commercial airports located in Burbank and Los Angeles, I am required to extend the travel time as much as 3-4 hours for a round trip to Ventura. That is ifthe traffic is not congested. The lack of direct access to Oxnard/Ventura by air makes doing business in the county difficult and costly. My company has 5 locations throughout southern and central California and would like to do business in Oxnard/Ventura if we were able to have access by air to the area. The Oxnard/Ventura has a large population that is under served due to the lack of access. I urge you to approve the Oxnard Airport's grant application. Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Chapman, On behalf of the Residence Inn by Marriott at River Ridge, Oxnard, California, it is our position thatwe strongly support the proposal to bring a commercial airline into our local Oxnard airport. One of our biggest challenges when pursuing outside leisure or business travelers to come to Oxnard isthe lack of a local commercial airline. Sooften our coastal community has been overlooked, or not even considered, as aviable location for a conference, social event or vacation because guests located outside our "drive market" must first travel to Santa Barbara, Burbank or LosAngeles, rent a car or take a shuttle before they even arrive at their final destination for their event. Bringing 

### a commercial airline to our local Oxnard Airport will allow our community, to reach areas outside the typica I "drive market" and encourage those communities to visit our area for business or leisure
. In return, we believe this will have a significant positive economic impact for Oxnard and the surrounding cities that make up Ventura County. We appreciate your effort and look forward to having a commercial airline return to Oxnard, California.
Best Regards,

"

Brooke Chapman Associate Director Small Community Air Service Development Program u.S. Department ofTransportation 1200 New Jersey Ave.•SE W86-31 0 Washington, DC 20590
Dear Ms. Chapman, I am writing to you a letter of support for the Oxnard Airport (OXR) application for the Small Community Air Service Development Grant provided by the U.S. Department ofTransportation. It has been proposed by the Ventura County Department ofAirports, owner/operator of OXR, that these grant funds, ifawarded, be used to support an agreement with Allegiant Airlines that will most likely result in air service to McCarran International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is one ofthe most-popular destinations with Southern Californians. as millions of tourists and conventioneers make their way to our desert oasis each year. However. for the Ventura County community. the process of flying to Las Vegas, or anywhere for that matter, can be rather cumbersome, as residents are faced with hours oftravel time by car to get to the closest commercial airports. Commercial air service from Oxnard Airport will allow those who live in one ofthe most-populated areas in the country to visit not only Las Vegas, but also the more than 130destinations with direct service from McCarran International Airport, including international service to Europe, Asia and Latin America. Similarly, commercial airline service to Oxnard Airport will provide Southern Nevada residents greater access to tourism and recreational opportunities in the Ventura County area. In closing, I reiterate my support ofOxnard Airport's application. New air service, supported by the Small Community Air Service Development Grant, would be beneficial to the citizens of Ventura County, Clark County. and points afar. Sincerely,

RAV/cc
