Project Grant 348SBGP2862026

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $888,000 on August 14, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to administer a state block grant program distributing federal funding to nonprimary airports within Texas for taxiway reconstruction and related airport improvement projects.

TxDOT serves as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program and passing federal funds through sub-awards to eligible nonprimary airports across Texas. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides funding for runway, taxiway, safety, sustainability, terminal, airport transit connection, and roadway projects at eligible airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.

Performance runs through August 13, 2030, with place of performance in Texas. The award is structured as a lump-sum project grant released upon application for reimbursement of expenses. As a state transportation agency, TxDOT does not directly construct or perform airport work but channels federal dollars to local airport authorities and entities implementing specific projects. Grant recipients must maintain airport layout plans for the duration of the grant agreement (ordinarily twenty years) and retain accounting records for three years after final expenditure report submission. Periodic reporting to FAA must document the number of projects bid, contracts awarded, work begun, and work completed, along with associated federal funding amounts.
