Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Expanded Project Eligibility: The bill expands the definition of aviation-related projects to include any project that constructs new or improves existing facilities, including equipment, regardless of revenue producing purposes or public accessibility (Section 2(a)). This could benefit the movement of passengers, baggage, or cargo, as well as the safety or security of airport users (Section 2(a)).
-
Improved Access: The redefined projects can include access to air transportation, such as surface transportation, rental car, and parking facilities (Section 2(a)).
-
Increased Loan Limits: The amendment changes the program administration so that a TIFIA loan amount is reasonably anticipated not to exceed $100,000,000, rather than the previous $75,000,000 threshold (Section 2(d)).
