Project Grant 348SBGP2362026

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $371,147.37 on August 14, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to administer a state block grant program distributing federal funds to nonprimary airports for airport master plan updates and related improvements within Texas.

TxDOT serves as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program, passing federal funding through sub-awards to eligible nonprimary airports across Texas. The grant funds airport development projects including runway extensions, taxiway rehabilitation, and other infrastructure improvements on airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.

Performance extends from August 14, 2026, through August 13, 2030, with work performed statewide in Texas. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides up to $500 million nationally over five years for nonprimary airport projects encompassing runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability improvements, terminal work, airport transit connections, and roadway projects. Grant recipients must maintain current airport layout plans for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily 20 years, and retain accounting records and project documentation for three years after final expenditure reporting.
