  9. Airport Technology R&D Program The airport technology R&D program performs research in: Runway Surface Technology/friction Visual Guidance Test and Evaluation of NAS Visual Aids Airport Rescue and Firefighting Airport Wildlife Hazards Airport Planning and design Airport Design Heliport/Vertiport Facility Design Airport Pavement construction and design Airport environmental issues – noise The results of this research are used in updating ACs, manuals, and technical specifications that airports rely on when expending AIP grant funds

  10. Airport Cooperative Research Program ACRP requests $15,000,000 in FY 13 Carries out applied research on problems shared by airports and not adequately addressed by existing federal research programs. Research topics are solicited each year by TRB and the ACRP Board of Governors meets to select the most promising topics to fund. Members of the Board are appointed by the Secretary of Transportation. Current members of the Board are airport executives, consultants, members of Academia, airport associations, the FAA, and EPA Contracts for Research are competitively bid

  11. AIP Grant Program • FY2013 AIP is made up of three critical components • AIP Formula Changes target funding to smaller airports • Increase Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) to $7.00 • Infrastructure funding of $3.1 billion (All size airports are eligible) • All three components must be in place for the program to be successful

  12. AIP Formula Changes • Large and Medium Hub entitlements eliminated • More than offset by the PFC increase • Doubled Entitlements are retained for small airports and Alaska Supplemental • Cargo entitlement, reliever and MAP setasides are eliminated, Noise setaside set at $250 million • Allowing targeted investment in smaller primaries and non-primary airports • All reliever, noise and MAP eligibility is retained

  13. Why Include the PFC Increase and the $3.1B Infrastructure Funding? • Large and Medium hub airports will use the PFC increase and stimulus funding to fund critical capacity and noise projects that had been planned for AIP/PFC • The targeted funding will prevent tremors in the bonding and financial markets that counted on AIP discretionary for LOI projects – the infrastructure increase will offset that • The PFC increase will be used to fund other terminal, airfield and noise projects

  14. Priority Initiatives • Runway Safety Area Improvements • Airport Safety Management Systems • Wildlife Hazards Assessments • Airport Geographic Information Systems • General Aviation Strategic Study • New York Capacity Study • Expansion plans at FLL, PHL and ORD • Development of Environmental Programs • AIP Tracking System
