2007- WSDOT to Fund $1.3 Million in 2007 Airport Improvement Projects

The 2007-2009 biennium is off to a good start with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation awarding $1.3 million in state grants to 44 airports for 88 different projects. Even better - of that $1.3 million, WSDOT is using approximately $219,000 to leverage $8.4 million in federal funds. Airports also contribute a required 2.5% local match to federal funds for their specific projects. Therefore, the combination of state, federal and local match funds brings the grand project total for this round of grants to more than $10 million.

Funding Breakdown

State	$1,334,703.28
Federal	$8,424,799.85
Local Match	$371,927.09
Total	$10,131,430.22

WSDOT Places High Priority on Pavement Projects at Smaller Airports
Consistent with other grant rounds, WSDOT focused most of its funds - approximately $701,000 - towards pavement projects at smaller Washington airports. As revealed in the most recent Airport Pavement Management System report, 23% of Washington airport pavements have deteriorated to the point where costly reconstruction or even rehabilitation is needed. For the rest of the airport pavements, preventative maintenance is required to avoid such costly repair. Through its grant program, WSDOT aims to fund more crucial pavement projects in order to benefit the state's overall air transportation system.

Other WSDOT-funded projects are in the areas of security, safety, maintenance, planning and other, and runway safety:

33 Pavement	$701,227.30
21 Security	$74,000.00
15 Safety	$176,267.40
12 Maintenance, Planning & Other	$375,708.58
7 Runway Safety	$7,500.00

More interesting facts about this first round of 07-09 grants:

Represents the highest number of airports awarded and most number of projects.
Forty-five airports applied / 44 funded - 108 projects requested / 88 funded.
More airports are beginning projects identified through WSDOT funded airport layout plans and pavement maintenance reports completed in 2006.

WSDOT anticipates awarding a similar amount during its second round of 2007-2009 Local Airport Aid Grants in April 2008. The department will solicit applications for that round during February and March 2008.

Airport Aid Grant Awards (2005-2007 Biennium)

2007 - WSDOT Aviation Awards Third Round of Local Airport Aid Grants

ARLINGTON – On January 8, 2007 Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation announced that it would award $173,900 in state funds to 14 airports throughout the state. Of that $173,900 WSDOT used $4,842 to leverage $183,312 in federal funds.

Nineteen different airport projects will be funded in this round of grants with a total project cost of $394,522. This total includes state, federal and local match funding.

Funding Breakdown
State	$173,900
Federal	$183,312
Local Match	$37,310
Total	$394,522

Sixty-eight percent of grants will go to smaller airports that are ineligible to receive federal funding.

Projects were awarded in the following areas:
7 Pavement Projects	$46,109
1 Planning Project	$4,750
2 Maintenance/Other Projects	$4,153
9 Safety Projects	$118,888

This latest round of Local Airport Aid grants represents the third round that WSDOT has awarded during the 2005-2007 biennium. This round was unique in that WSDOT asked all applicants to demonstrate the ability and commitment to complete proposed projects by June 30, 2007. In the previous two rounds, WSDOT had given $3.1 million in state funds to 47 airports, and used approximately $378,000 to leverage more than $14 million in federal grants.

WSDOT's next round of grants will occur in July 2007. This will be the first round of grants in the 2007-2009 biennium, and WSDOT anticipates having $1 million in funding for airport projects. WSDOT will solicit applications between March and May 2007.

2006 - WSDOT Aviation Facilitates $13.3 million for Washington Airports

ARLINGTON – WSDOT Aviation’s Local Airport Aid Grant Program has facilitated $13.3 million for 39 different airport improvement projects in the state, WSDOT officials announced on April 18, 2006.

A total of 31 public-use airports in Washington will benefit from WSDOT’s latest round of state, local and federal grants awarded during the 2005-2007 biennium. Of the total $13.3 million awarded WSDOT used approximately $1.8 million in state grants to fund the projects. WSDOT also used $288,423 in state funds to leverage more than $10.8 million in federal funds.

“We are committed to preserving the state’s aviation system by stretching our state grant funds to the maximum extent,” said Stan Allison, Manager of Aviation Operations. “We continue to encourage eligible airports to accept federal funds first. This allows us to leverage millions of federal dollars for important airport improvement projects, while focusing more of our state grants on smaller airports that are not eligible for federal money.”

“Record-Breaking Biennium”

This latest round of grants, coupled with $1.2 million given in July 2005, is the largest amount of grants awarded by WSDOT during a biennium. The Legislature supported this effort by approving WSDOT’s $1.5 million supplemental budget request. WSDOT's grant program is funded through an 11-cent-per gallon fee on aviation fuel, along with aircraft registration fees. If remaining funds are available, WSDOT may award a third round of grants in early 2007.

“The Legislature and state aviation users have helped to make this a record-breaking biennium for our Local Airport Aid Grant Program,” said Allison. “We will return the favor by delivering quality projects that focus on pavement to improve the health of our state’s system of airports.”

Airport improvement projects slated for the 2005-2007 biennium are in the areas of pavement, safety, planning, maintenance, security and runway safety. Pavement maintenance, which is the main focus of WSDOT’s grant program, comprises about 78 percent of the planned projects. Forty-two percent of WSDOT funds have enabled those paving projects, with 64 percent going to smaller airports that are not eligible for federal funding. The specific project breakdown is as follows:

13 Pavement
9 Maintenance
10 Planning
6 Safety
1 Runway Safety

WSDOT Aviation will keep airport sponsors posted on information regarding application deadlines and project eligibility. For more information about specific airport projects, contact WSDOT Aviation Construction Project Manager, Eric Johnson, at (360) 651-6303.

2005 - WSDOT Aviation's Local Airport Aid Grant Program Facilitates $5.7 Million in State Airport Projects

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation announced on July 26, 2005 that $5.7 million in state, federal and local match funds will be used for 24 different airport improvement projects in the state. A total of 21 public use airports in Washington State will benefit from this round of grants. Through its Local Airport Aid Grant Program, WSDOT awarded approximately $1.2 million in state grants to fund these airport projects. Of that amount WSDOT used $88,493 to leverage over $3.4 million in federal funds.

“It makes a huge difference that we are able to leverage millions of federal dollars by using a relatively small amount of state funds,” said Stan Allison, WSDOT Manager of Aviation Operations. “It enables crucial projects at smaller airports and helps us to maintain a safe and efficient state aviation system.”

Airport improvement projects slated for the 2005-2007 biennium are in the areas of pavement, safety, planning, maintenance, security and runway safety. Forty-five percent of the projects are focused on airport pavement maintenance. Eighty-six percent of those paving projects will go to smaller airports that are not eligible for federal funding. The specific project breakdown is as follows:

7 Pavement
3 Maintenance
2 Planning
8 Safety
1 Security
3 Runway Safety

Airport Aid Grant Awards (2003-2005 Biennium)

Third Round of Local Airport Aid Grants

On February 1, 2005 WSDOT Aviation awarded $502,577 to 18 airports throughout Washington State in an unprecedented third round of Local Airport Aid Grants. The three-cent increase on aviation fuel, along with the $7 airman registration increase in July 2003, generated enough money to enable the third round of grants.

For this round of grants, higher priority was given to airports that could demonstrate an ability to complete their proposed projects by the end of WSDOT’s current biennium (June 30, 2005). With a shorter project completion time available for this round of grants, we were able to award 28% of the grants to pavement preservation. We awarded $142,214 to fund four pavement projects, including two floatplane docks that are considered apron areas for a seaplane base.

The remaining $360,363 will fund safety, security, maintenance and planning projects as follows:

Safety – 8 projects - $183,347 – Lighting and obstruction removal.
Security – 1 project - $4,000 – Preparation of security plan.
Planning – 4 projects - $105,293 – Preparation of Airport Layout Plans (ALPs).
Maintenance and Other – 8 projects - $67,723 – Weed control, equipment acquisition/repair, and purchase/installation of aviation fuel tank/card lock system.

2005 Airport Aid Grant Awards by Category

State funds totaling $5,396, along with an equivalent match from the local airport sponsor, leveraged an additional $205,062 in funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA provides grants to Washington airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS).

WSDOT Aviation is pleased with the overall success of the Local Airport Aid Grant Program during the 2003-2005 biennium. The following summarizes the grants awarded during the biennium:

Sponsors who submitted applications for this third round of grants and were not awarded a grant are encouraged to re-apply later this year. We will keep airport sponsors posted on information regarding application deadlines and project eligibility. WSDOT thanks registered pilots, mechanics and aircraft owners for helping to protect and preserve the future of Washington airports.
