Airport courtesy vehicle maintenance and repair funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill appropriates $100,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2027 to support maintenance and repairs for courtesy vehicles and shuttles at small airports in Minnesota. The funding is designated for airports located outside metropolitan counties that are classified as intermediate airports or landing strips. The commissioner of transportation must distribute these grants with a focus on supporting small airports and ensuring regional balance across the state. This is a one-time appropriation intended to help these specific airports maintain their transportation services for passengers and staff.
