Program Overview

ADOT Aeronautics develops the Five-Year Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) to parallel the Federal Aviation Administrations
(FAA) Airport Capital Improvement Program and the ADOT Highways Program with the dual objective of maximizing the effective use of
State dollars for airport development, while maximizing FAA funding for Arizona airports. Federal monies are derived mainly from taxes
on airline tickets and are distributed by the Federal Aviation Administration to local airports through the National Airport Improvement
Program. State funds come mainly from flight property tax, aircraft lieu taxes and aviation fuel taxes.

The ACIP development process allocates money from the State Aviation Fund and distributes these funds across three major categories of
airport development assistance. The State Transportation Board approves this program annually. The three categories and their associated
sub-categories are:

1.

Airport Development Grants Program
Projects utilizing Federal, State and Local funds



Safety
&
Capacity
Enhancement






Maintenance




Environmental,
Planning
and
Land
Acquisition
Projects utilizing State and Local funds only

Program Overview (continued)

Arizona airport sponsors of 66 public airports submitted 949 projects for consideration worth $1.35B over the 5-year program period. These
projects represent all Federal and State funding desires on the part of the airport sponsors. This document, the States proposed Five-Year
ACIP, totals $762.1 million. This is an approximately 6.2% increase from the previous years program. State funding, proposed at $118.6M,
is 23.0% greater than last years total of $96.1M. This 5-year investment of State funds will support about $601.0M in Federal aid and
require about $42.5M from airport sponsors.
The States Airport Assistance Programs for the Five-Year ACIP is designed to provide 50% of a sponsors share of a federally funded
project. Expected sponsor obligations on federal projects beginning with FY 2008 will be 8.94% of a projects total cost, making the state
share 4.47%. Each year, the ACIP will set aside between $4.5M (in FY 2008) to about $6.5 (in FY 2012) to match federal grants. As airport
sponsors receive a federal grant, they apply to the state for the matching funds.

The Five-Year Program also provides for State funded grants. This document shows those projects for State-local funding that have met the
State Transportation Boards qualifying priority rating. When the Board approves the Five-Year Program, only the projects identified for
fiscal year 2008 will be issued new grants. All other fiscal years projects are subject to subsequence annual review and approval by the
State Transportation Board.


This ACIP Document is formatted into four sections: Program Overview; Airport Development Program by fiscal year; Alphabetical Listing
of projects by sponsor name; and a Summary of Project Totals. Although Subprogram categories are not listed, the individual information is
retained in the States Aviation Database. State fund contributions for Maintenance projects total $20.6M or 14.0% of the state-local
program; Safety and Capacity Enhancement projects total $114.0M or 77.2% of the state-local program; and Environmental, Planning, and
Land Acquisition projects total $13.0M or 8.8% of the state-local program. State-local funding distributions among the airport categories
are: $26.4M designated for commercial service airports; $56.1M for reliever airports; $24.3M for public-general aviation airports and $3.3M
for secondary airports. The maximum State grant does not exceed 10% of the net available funds for airport development. The maximum
State/Local grant (excluding APMS projects) for the fiscal year 2008 Program is $2,000,000.

Programming Guidelines

1. Projects proposed for inclusion in the program must be rated by the latest
approved version of the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT)
Airport Priority Rating System and confirmed as being recommended for
inclusion in the program.
2.

Projected public ownership of a facility and availability for public use are
both required for programming a project at that facility.
3.

There are three categories in the Program:
Airport Development Grants
Airport Preventative Maintenance Services (APMS)
Airport Loans
4.

There are three types of projects in the Grants category:
Projects that are related to Maintenance.
Projects that are related to Safety and/or Capacity Enhancement.
Projects that are related to Environmental Studies, Planning or Land
Acquisition.
5.

Funds are to be programmed with approximately 80% to commercial
service/reliever airports, 18% to public, general aviation airports and 2% to
secondary airports.
6.

During each year of the program, funds to match FAA grants are set aside
based on the amount of funds the FAA programs for airports in the state.
These funds are to be programmed to provide up to 50% of the Local share
of all eligible items contained in FAA airport project grants.
7.

The maximum State/Local grant amount for any airport project will not
exceed 10% of the net available for development. The maximum
State/Local grant (excluding Maintenance Projects) amount for FY 2008 is
$2,000,000.
8.

The program is developed in a manner to utilize the maximum prudent and
practical amount of Federal funds.
9.

The State may fund up to 90% of a primary airport project and 95% of a
secondary airport project with no Federal participation.
10.

Consideration is to be given for including research and development
projects that have a potential for significant economic and/or technical
benefit to Arizona airports and/or airport users.
11.

The Grants and APMS categories are a facilities/capital improvements
program that parallels the Federal Airport Improvement Program in terms
of eligible grant items with the exception that the State does not fund
capital equipment, routine operating maintenance items or revenue
producing projects. The Airport Loan category is design to accommodate
revenue-producing projects specific to an airports economic welfare.
12.

The program was developed using approved Transportation Board
Policies. Where there is a diversion from the approved policy, a new
policy issue will be presented to the Board for their consideration and
approval.
13.

Sponsors are requested not to modify the scope of work after a grant has
been issued. Any funds remaining after the initial work in the grant has
been completed are to be returned to the State Aviation Fund. Grant offers
not executed for State/Local projects by December 1 of each year, may be
withdrawn and the funds will be made available for other high priority
projects.
14.

Grant duration is typically 4 years except for acquiring airport land, which
is subject to individual review, but under no circumstances, may exceed 8
years.
