Aviation Fuel Tax Program
This program provides funding to local governments for airport-related projects, with grants allocated based on passenger numbers, cargo volume, and airport operations.
Description
The State Aviation Program Fund is created in the State Treasury. Moneys in the Fund shall be used by the Department of Transportation for the purposes of administering a State Aviation Program. Subject to appropriation, the moneys shall be used for the purpose of distributing grants to units of local government to be used for airport-related purposes. Grants to units of local government from the Fund shall be distributed proportionately based on equal part enplanements, total cargo, and airport operations. With regard to enplanements that occur within a municipality with a population of over 500,000, grants shall be distributed only to the municipality.
