Avoid DUI by Hiring a Professional Driver

There’s nothing quite like having a great night out on the town with your friends, however, things can often get out of hand when it’s time to head home after partying with alcohol. Instead of scrambling to see who had the least drinks and is able to drive, instead arrange for limo rental services.

Hit the town in style with a limousine service. It sure beats friends as the designated driver. Get all your friends together to chip to rent limousines. Many people think that renting limousines is expensive; truthfully the process is very affordable indeed. Everybody in your group deserves the same opportunity to have fun and party hard. Hiring a professional limo driver not only allows you to enjoy a great time with your friends, but more importantly, avoid any chances of DUI.

Advantages of Hiring a Limousine Service

The benefits of hiring a limo driver are obvious, but worth spelling out. It goes beyond the financial impact of a possible DUI that can seriously affect your life, there’s the possibility of injuring yourself or others in an accident. Driving under the influence is very dangerous.

Just a few alcoholic drinks can seriously impair your judgment and affect your natural reaction time. Driving after consuming alcohol puts your entire group and others in serious danger.

Being charged with DUI can get your driving privileges revoked and you will also incur some heavy fines. A DUI can affect your ability to be independent in getting yourself to work or school every day. A few moments of lapsed judgment comes with a heavy price. Don’t take any chances; give yourself some peace of mind by using limousine service.

Fringe Benefits

There’s nothing like VIP treatment everywhere you go. Enjoy the benefits of movie star treatment as you hit the town. Limos allow you the freedom to hop from bar to bar or nightclub to nightclub without worrying about wasting time looking for parking. Everybody can enjoy the peace of mind of leaving their cars at home and not parked on the streets ripe for thievery.

Of course at the end of the night, you don’t have to worry about trying to remember where you parked in the first place. Hiring a professional driver allows all your friends to arrive at the party spot on time and with no drama. Take full advantage of affordable limousine services, you can party all night long and avoid many risks.

Houston IAH Terminal D Renovation Project

Overview:

The City of Houston is one of the most diverse and dynamic metropolitan regions in the United States and a key aspect of that strength is the expansive level of global connectivity  made possible by international air service at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).  Houston’s flagship airport facility connects the city to almost 70 individual airports located across the globe and standing at the epicenter of this vital international operation is the Mickey Leland Terminal Building at IAH, otherwise known as “Terminal D.”

On April 24, 2014, Houston Aviation Director Mario Diaz presented members of Houston’s City Council with a dramatic new vision of the Mickey Leland International Terminal building (Terminal D) at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.  The plan calls for the construction of a completely new gateway terminal facility, on the same site as the existing Terminal D building.

Terminal D serves as the primary global gateway facility for air travelers in the Houston region but unfortunately, it does not adequately reflect Houston’s current standing as a world leader in business and quality of life offered to its residents.  It is with this reality in mind, that leaders with the Houston Airport System are moving forward with a dramatic and detailed plan to completely overhaul the Terminal D building at IAH.  The existing structure will remain operational throughout the renovation project, but the end result will be a thorough list of aesthetic and operational changes that impact virtually every corner of the terminal building.

Outreach:

In an effort to maximize community participation and pre-planning efficiency, HAS team members held a “Terminal D Industry Day” on March 13, 2014.  At this meeting, various representatives from the construction industry were given a detailed briefing on the plans to move forward with the Terminal D project.  Information passed along at this meeting included:

  • Overview of Terminal B North project (explanation that this is a United Airlines project)
  • General phasing plans for project
  • Explanation of key design aspects (emphasis on lighting, “sense of place,” etc.)
  • Discussion of funding/management mechanisms
  • Timeline for program launch and completion

FAA Inaugurates New Houston Air-Traffic Facility

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dedicated a new Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility that will be better able to handle the expected growth in flight operations in the Houston area.

The Houston TRACON is responsible for controlling air traffic over roughly 16,000 square miles of airspace stretching from the Texas-Louisiana border to approximately 35 miles east of Austin and from Galveston to 30 miles north of College Station. The City of Houston is leasing the 47,500 square-foot facility to the FAA at no cost. The new TRACON is located on 21 acres of land at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) facility and replaces an outdated structure that was commissioned more than 40 years ago.

“The Houston Airport System and the Federal Aviation Administration already enjoy a strong partnership with one another and millions of air passengers in the Houston region have undoubtedly benefited as a result,” says Houston Aviation Director Mario C. Diaz. “But with the opening of this new facility, that partnership will grow even stronger in the future and even greater operational efficiency will be realized at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.”

Approximately 218 air-traffic controllers, managers and technical support personnel are assigned to the new TRACON. It has space for up to 27 radar positions, compared with the 20 radar positions in the previous facility. The FAA began using the new TRACON in September 2013.

“This new air traffic control facility was designed to take advantage of the new satellite-based air traffic control capabilities that are currently being deployed as part of the FAA’s NextGen air traffic modernization program,” said Deputy FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker. “It is yet another example of where Houston is helping to pave the way for the future in air transportation.”

In Fiscal Year 2013, controllers at the Houston TRACON handled more than 940,000 individual aircraft operations.

The total cost of the project was about $43 million, including construction and new electronic equipment.
