Bill > HR3085

This bill establishes a new Regional Airport Expansion Program within the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide financial grants to smaller airports in communities with populations of at least 75,000. The program will award between 3 and 10 grants each fiscal year, with a total annual funding of $50 million. Eligible airports, which include general aviation and nonprimary commercial service airports, can use these grants for various infrastructure and capacity improvement projects such as expanding passenger and property screening facilities, lengthening runways, constructing hangars, improving passenger facilities, and covering costs associated with meeting operational and security requirements. The goal of the program is to help smaller regional airports enhance their passenger and flight capacity by providing targeted financial support for critical infrastructure and compliance needs. The bill would be known as the "Expanding Regional Airports Act" and would modify existing transportation regulations to create this new grant program.
