Cooperative Agreement CAMOADMNIIJA202601

Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Cooperative Agreement to the Missouri Department of Transportation totaling $219,480.00, effective December 18, 2025, through June 30, 2029. This award provides administrative funding to support MoDOT's oversight and administration of federal grant programs authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Specifically, the funding covers personnel costs, contracting expenses, and other administrative overhead necessary to manage three IIJA grant programs: the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program (CFDA 20.117), the FAA Contract Tower (FCT) Grant Program, and the Airport Terminal Program (ATP) Grant Program.

MoDOT will utilize these administrative funds to serve as the state block grant administrator for airport infrastructure projects across Missouri, overseeing the allocation and monitoring of federal resources to eligible airport recipients. The cooperative agreement establishes MoDOT's capacity to manage sub-awards, ensure compliance with federal requirements, process periodic project reporting, conduct environmental reviews, and maintain audit and documentation standards in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 requirements. This administrative support enables the state to effectively steward the $14.5 billion IIJA airport infrastructure investment program over its five-year authorization period, which funds critical airport improvements including runway and taxiway rehabilitations, terminal upgrades, and airport transit connections at airports throughout Missouri.
