## Summary

**Creates a Department of Transportation grant program to fund surface transportation projects that directly connect to public airports.** It would set who can apply, what projects qualify, and how annual funding is split among airport sizes. - States, Indian Tribes, and local governments that control a public airport could apply for grants to build or repair roads, bridges, tunnels, transit, and passenger rail within 5 miles of an airport. Projects must reduce congestion, expand capacity, improve access to under-connected areas, or rehabilitate infrastructure. - Travelers and nearby communities could get faster, more reliable access to airports through coordinated highway, transit, and passenger rail improvements. The program covers projects eligible under existing federal highway, public transportation, and passenger rail programs. - At least 50% of each year’s program funding would go to projects tied to large hub airports and at least 30% to medium hub airports. Non-federal matching can use TIFIA credit assistance or passenger facility charges. *Would authorize $1.0 billion per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, totaling $5.0 billion, and would increase federal spending.*
