Airport Aid Grant Awards (2009-2011 Biennium)
2009 - WSDOT awards $900,000 in 2009 Airport Improvement grants
The Washington State Department of Transportation announced the award of $900,000 in Local Airport Aid grant funds to 35 airports, accounting for 41 different projects. This is the first round of airport grants that WSDOT has awarded during the 2009-2011 biennium.
Despite a significant projected decline in aviation revenues, WSDOT's Aviation program was able to use approximately $280,606 to leverage $11.1 million in federal funds, bringing the combined state, local and federal grand total to more than $12.4 million.
Funding breakdown:
- State - $ 889,394
- Federal - $11,102,058
- Local - $ 470,414
- Total - $12,461,866
Projects awarded:
- Pavement - 87 percent
- Safety - 9 percent
- Maintenance, Planning, and Other - 3 percent
- Security - .5 percent
Exact grant amounts are subject to change according to final project bid totals.
WSDOT's grant program is funded through an 11-cent-per gallon fee on aviation fuel, along with aircraft registration fees.
WSDOT anticipates awarding a similar amount during its second round of 2009-2011 Local Airport Aid grants in April 2010. The department will solicit applications for that round during February and March 2010.

Slow down on ice and snow.
It's easier to skid or lose control traveling at higher speeds. Give yourself more time to stop.
Carry chains, practice installing them.
Winter conditions could mean chains are required on your route. Practice putting them on your vehicle ahead of time.
Pack your winter car kit.
Carry extra supplies like warm clothing, ice scraper and brush, jumper cables and other emergency items.
