The Texas Transportation Commission approved the FY 1996-2000 Aviation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) at its May meeting. The CIP is formulated based on anticipated funding levels from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Texas Airport Facilities Development Program and contains projects totaling almost $127 million. over the five-year period.
The FY 1996-2000 CIP contains some important changes which may have affected your airport project. The most important change is that TxDOT will no longer contribute to the non-federal share of projects funded through the federal Airport Improvement Program. This means that the local share for both state and federal projects will be 10 percent. The decision was made in order to address increasingly limited funding and to provide equitable fund- ing for all airports, regardless of size, activity level, and federal funding eligibility. Copies of the CIP are available from the Aviation Division.
