Rehabilitate taxiway lighting

The Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust received a $4.35 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate taxiway lighting infrastructure at Tulsa International Airport. Awarded on July 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 29, 2029, this grant funds the final construction phase of a multi-phase project to extend the useful life of existing taxiways B, C, L, and M lighting systems. The project represents the culmination of a longer-term capital improvement initiative and will modernize critical ground infrastructure supporting airport operations and safety.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide through traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and legacy COVID-19 relief grants. This taxiway lighting rehabilitation project aligns with the program's strategic objectives of enhancing operational excellence and maintaining safe, efficient airport systems. Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust, a designated Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and airport authority managing the Tulsa region's aviation facilities, will oversee project implementation at the Tulsa, Oklahoma location (74158).
