Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) a Cooperative Agreement totaling $219,080 on August 18, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to provide administrative support for oversight and management of federal airport grant programs. The funds will support personnel costs, contracting expenses, and other administrative functions necessary for MoDOT to administer and oversee three Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) grant programs: the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) Program, the FAA Contract Tower (FCT) Grant Program, and the Airport Terminal Program (ATP) Grant Program.

As the state block grant administrator, MoDOT will utilize this funding to manage the allocation, sub-award distribution, compliance monitoring, and administrative oversight of federal airport infrastructure grants throughout Missouri. The award period extends through June 30, 2028, enabling sustained administrative capacity for MoDOT to coordinate with airport sponsors and entities across the state in executing airport infrastructure projects funded under the IIJA programs. This administrative support is essential to facilitate the development and modernization of airport infrastructure consistent with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefit.
