Bill > HR3754

This bill establishes a federal grant program administered by the Secretary of Transportation to fund surface transportation infrastructure projects that connect to public airports. The grants can be awarded to states, Indian Tribes, and local government units, including public airport agencies, for projects within 5 miles of a public airport that aim to reduce congestion, expand capacity, provide access to under-connected areas, or rehabilitate roadway, rail, or transit infrastructure. Eligible projects include highway, bridge, public transportation, and passenger rail projects. The bill requires that at least 50% of annual funding be dedicated to projects connecting to large hub airports and at least 30% to projects connecting to medium hub airports. Grant recipients can use various funding sources for their non-federal cost share, including TIFIA credit assistance and passenger facility charges. The bill authorizes $1 billion per year from the Highway Trust Fund for fiscal years 2027-2031 to support these airport connection infrastructure projects, with the goal of improving transportation access and efficiency around airports across the United States.
