Iowa Transportation Commission approves FY 2011 State Aviation Program
AMES, Iowa – July 13, 2010 – The Iowa Transportation Commission today approved nearly $4.7 million for projects funded under various programs in the FY 2011 State Aviation Program.
Vertical infrastructure programs will provide $2.25 million for projects at all eight commercial service airports and five general aviation airports throughout Iowa. These programs provide funding for 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 $1.46 million at 21 airports. The AIP will also provide approximately $960,000 to fund statewide safety, planning and development programs to support safe flight operations within the state’s air transportation system and to 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.
See tables below for additional information on the projects funded through the FY 2011 State Aviation Program. Additional information regarding aviation in Iowa is available at iowadot.gov/aviation.
