Description
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) administers this capital-budget airport-development program through eGrants. It uses the state’s General Fund to improve aviation infrastructure at appropriately licensed public-use airports in Pennsylvania. Funding supports work to maintain existing airport facilities, upgrade them, or build new ones.
The program is part of PennDOT’s broader effort to promote, develop, and preserve Pennsylvania’s airport system. Its focus is the physical infrastructure that keeps public-use airports operating and supports their continued development.
