Creates new programs to make airport vehicle operations safer for workers and travelers.
This bill would create a task force to improve training for people who drive vehicles at commercial airports. It would also set up a new grant program to help airports buy technology and training systems to make runways and taxiways safer for everyone. These changes aim to reduce incidents involving vehicles on airport surfaces.
Today, there isn't a specific federal task force dedicated to improving training for airport vehicle drivers, nor a dedicated grant program for airports to buy related safety technology. If this bill becomes law, the FAA would create a task force to develop recommendations for better training, and a new grant program would help airports fund technology and training systems from the government's budget year 2027 through 2031.
