Bill > HR6168

This bill, known as the "Airport TIFIA Financing Certainty Act," seeks to modify the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program to expand eligibility for airport-related infrastructure projects. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition of eligible projects to include new or improved aviation-related facilities that support air transportation, including equipment and infrastructure that facilitates passenger and cargo movement, access to airports (such as surface transportation, rental car, and parking facilities), and airport user safety and security. The bill removes certain revenue-producing and public accessibility restrictions for these projects. Additionally, the legislation adjusts the program's administrative requirements, such as modifying the minimum loan amount threshold from $75 million to $100 million and providing some waiver exemptions specifically for airport-related projects. These changes aim to make it easier for airports to access federal infrastructure financing through the TIFIA program by creating more flexible eligibility criteria and reducing bureaucratic barriers.
