Iowa Transportation Commission approves 2009 State Aviation Programs
AMES, Iowa – July 15, 2008 – The Iowa Transportation Commission today approved nearly $4.8 million for the 2009 State Aviation Program.
Vertical infrastructure programs will provide $2.3 million for projects at all eight commercial service airports and nine general aviation airports around Iowa. These programs provide funding for the maintenance and development of airport facilities, such as terminal buildings, maintenance facilities and aviation hangars.
The Airport Improvement Program (AIP), funded with revenues from aircraft registration fees and aviation fuel taxes, will fund airfield and security projects totaling $1.4 million at 23 airports. The AIP will also fund $1 million for statewide safety, planning and development programs to support safe flight operations within the state’s air transportation system, and enhance the safety, operation and accessibility of airports in Iowa. Programs funded by the AIP include: maintenance of Aviation Weather Observing Systems (AWOS); runway marking; windsocks; emergency operation repairs at publicly owned airports; match for federal statewide planning studies; assistance to local jurisdictions to update airport zoning ordinances and comprehensive plans to include compatible land use near airports; air service development to maintain and enhance passenger air service in Iowa; and wildlife mitigation at airports.
