Aeronautics Budget FY 2012-13
• Due to a decrease of revenues of approximately
25% and $4.0 million transferred from the State
Aeronautics Account to the State General Fund in
FY-2009-10.
• Grant funding is limited, but as many grants as
possible will be funded. Please check funding
status at: www.dot.ca.gov/aeronautics. Click the link
to “Airport Funding Status”.
• We WILL be able to fund 100% of Annual Grants,
anticipate funding 100% of AIP Matching Grants, and
are skeptical that we will be able to fund any new
A&D grants this FY.
