Since 1982, the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) has provided about $2.2 billion in federal grants for rehabilitating and maintaining airport runways. Administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), this program is a major source of runway rehabilitation funding for the 3,300-plus airports that constitute FAA's national airport system--the primary network of airports throughout the country. At the request of the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, GAO addressed the following issues concerning this program: (1) the current condition of the nation's airport runways, (2) the likely cost of rehabilitation and preventive maintenance for these runways over the next 10 years, (3) FAA's basis for setting priorities among requests for AIP grants for runway rehabilitation and maintenance, and (4) the results of the demonstration project authorized by the Congress in 1996 to address concerns that a lack of funding was hampering runway maintenance at small airports.
