The Don't Miss Your Flight Act establishes a federal grant program to fund surface transportation projects that improve connections to airports. States, local governments, Indian Tribes, and airport authorities can apply for grants to build or improve roads, bridges, public transit, and rail infrastructure within five miles of public airports. The legislation prioritizes funding for large and medium-sized hub airports, requiring at least 50 percent of annual funds to go to large hub airports and 30 percent to medium hub airports. The bill authorizes $1 billion per year in Highway Trust Fund spending from 2027 through 2031, with local entities contributing a portion of project costs and allowed to use airport fees and federal loans to cover their share. The program aims to reduce traffic congestion, increase capacity, and improve transportation access for air travelers.
