About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking competitive grant applications for the Airport Terminal Program (ATP) under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with the primary goal of modernizing and upgrading airport infrastructure nationwide. The program will fund airport terminal and Airport Traffic Control Tower development projects that address aging facilities, improve safety, and enhance accessibility. Eligible applicants include city/township governments, state governments, special district governments, and county governments. While the full evaluation criteria will be detailed in the upcoming FY 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), key requirements include submission of FAA Form 5100-100, SF 424, and completion of an environmental impact assessment. The application period opens December 10, 2025, with a firm submission deadline of January 15, 2026, and sponsors must formally accept grant offers no later than September 30 for funds appropriated in the fiscal year.
Approximately $1 billion in competitive funds will be available for the FY 2026 ATP grant cycle, with individual project awards expected to vary based on scope and need. The program anticipates funding multiple airport infrastructure development projects across the United States, with project timelines ranging from 90 to 120 days, potentially extending if environmental challenges arise. Grant recipients will be required to maintain detailed project records, submit periodic reports on project progress, and keep airport layout plans current for the duration of the grant agreement, which typically spans 20 years. All funded projects will be subject to oversight by FAA, DOT, the Office of the Inspector General, and the Government Accountability Office, ensuring transparency and proper use of federal funds.
