Appropriation:
All from Special Revenue Funds:
$5,830,600
Total:
$5,830,600[5]
Program Description:
This funds overall administration of state aviation programs, promotes passenger and freight traffic, and provides for an “Air Service Grant Program,” which provides funds to small aviation facilities.
Recommended Action:
Terminate all spending for the Air Service Grant Program that provides financial assistance to the state’s 19 commercial airports. Airports that serve commercial aviation should be financially self-sufficient, and the relatively small size of this grant suggests that it is not a key revenue source for these 19 airports. Savings: $300,000.
