Summary:
The purpose of this program is to address the aging infrastructure of the nation's airports by upgrading, modernizing, and rebuilding airport terminals and airport-owned airport traffic control towers (ATCTs). Project activities may include bringing airport facilities into conformity with current standards; constructing, modifying, or expanding facilities as necessary to meet demonstrated aeronautical demand; enhancing environmental sustainability; encouraging actual and potential competition; and providing a balanced system of airports to meet the roles and functions necessary to support civil aeronautical demand. This program also supports the President's goals to mobilize American ingenuity to build modern infrastructure and an equitable, clean energy future.
All projects supported through this program must be:
- Airport terminal development, defined as development of an airport passenger terminal building, including terminal gates; access roads servicing exclusively airport traffic that leads directly to or from an airport passenger terminal building; and walkways that lead directly to or from an airport passenger terminal building
- On-airport rail access projects as set forth in Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Update 75-21
- Airport-owned ATCT that includes relocating, reconstructing, repairing, or improving the ATCT
- Justified based on civil aeronautical demand
Favorable consideration will be given to eligible and justified terminal development, on-airport rail access projects, and ATCT projects that:
- Increase capacity and passenger access
- Replace aging infrastructure
- Achieve compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), including expanding accessibility for persons with disabilities
- Improve airport access for historically disadvantaged populations
- Improve energy efficiency, including upgrading environmental systems, upgrading plant facilities, and achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation standards
- Improve airfield safety through terminal relocation
- Encourage actual and potential competition
The funding agency will provide preference to projects that achieve a complete development objective, even if awards for the project must be phased, and prioritize projects that have received partial awards. The funding agency will also consider projects that advance the goals of the Executive Orders listed on page 5 of the NOFA file.
Applicants should describe whether and how project delivery and implementation create good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union to the greatest extent possible; the use of demonstrated strong labor standards, practices, and policies; the use of project labor agreements; the distribution of workplace rights notices; union neutrality agreements; wage and/or benefit standards; the use of local hire provisions; registered apprenticeships; joint-labor management partnerships; or other similar standards or practices. Applicants should describe how planned methods of project delivery and implementation provide opportunities for all workers, including workers under-represented in construction jobs, to be trained and placed in good-paying jobs directly related to the project.
The funding agency encourages applicants to consider how the project will address the challenges faced by individuals in underserved communities, rural areas, and communities with environmental justice concerns; as well as accessibility for persons with disabilities.

Project: | Zero Carbon Electric Central Utility Plant (eCUP) Phase 1 (1.2 Mb) |
---|---|
Applicant: | Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport |
Summary: |
The purpose of this program is to address the aging infrastructure of the nation's airports by upgrading, modernizing, and rebuilding airport terminals and airport-owned airport traffic control towers (ATCTs). Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport requested $105 million to support a project to be completed in two phases, which will assist in meeting the airport’s net-zero carbon by 2030 goal by transitioning 86 percent of heating to renewable electricity. The airport received $35 million for the first phase of the project, which will include the construction of a net-zero carbon electric central utility plant (eCUP) and conversion of the piping system for two terminals. Phase two will include the conversion of the pipping system for three terminals as well as an adjacent hotel. |
