Regulatory Alert: DOT Announces Over $273 Million in AIP Grants for Projects at 184 Airports
July 28, 2020
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao today announced the award of over $273 million in airport infrastructure grants, which will fund projects at 184 airports in 41 states and 6 territories.
"This $273 million federal investment in our nation's airports will strengthen safety, improve travel, generate jobs, and benefit local communities," Secretary Chao said.
A total of $242 million in AIP grants announced today were made available by the $3.35 billion in "regular" AIP funding that Congress provided late last year as part of the FY 2020 appropriations package. The U.S. Department of Transportation previously announced $1.828 billion in FY 2020 AIP grants in separate announcements on February 19, April 30, and June 30.
Today's announcement also includes an additional $31 million in grants made available by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which provided FAA with an additional $500 million to increase the federal share to 100 percent for FY 2020 AIP grants.
For additional information, please see the complete list of grants announced today and the full press release.
