The Don't Miss Your Flight Act establishes a federal grant program to fund surface transportation projects that connect to public airports, including highways, bridges, public transit, and passenger rail improvements within five miles of an airport. The legislation is designed to reduce congestion, expand capacity, and improve access to underserved areas around major airports. Eligible recipients include states, Indian tribes, and local governments, though at least 50 percent of annual funding must go to projects serving large hub airports and at least 30 percent to medium hub airports. The bill authorizes $1 billion annually from the Highway Trust Fund for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with local entities required to cover a portion of project costs but allowed to use airport fees and federal credit assistance toward their financial contribution.
