DoT To Pay Nearly $800 Million in Grants to 347 Airports

Covers 46 States and 4 Territories

DoT will award nearly $800 million in airport safety and infrastructure grants through the FAA to 46 states, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Marshall Islands.

"This nearly $800 million Federal investment in airport infrastructure will strengthen safety, improve travel, generate jobs and provide many economic benefits for local communities," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.
 
The total includes $689 million from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and $104.4 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act grants to equal a 100 percent Federal share.
 
"These 383 grants will allow airport sponsors to either begin or complete construction projects that will maintain the safety and efficiency of our national airport system," said FAA Administrator Stephen M. Dickson. These grants will be used for a variety of critical infrastructure and safety projects. Some of the projects include purchasing aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment, constructing runways and taxiways, repairing runways and taxiways, installing aircraft lighting and signage, conducting airport master plan studies, and installing airport perimeter fencing.
