20th Annual Airports Economic Opportunity and Policy Forum

Our Objective: Drive Opportunities

2

We must create a foundation of support!

How?Continue to Build AMAC’s Brand with Congress and the Administration

Drive AMAC’s Policy Priorities

Form Strategic Alliances on Common Goals

Why?To Create More Opportunities for AMAC’s Membership

The Issue:

Airports Rely on the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) for Federal Funds

Federal Belt-Tightening May Cause a Shift to Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) for Funding

PFCs are NOT subject to M/W/DBE Rules

Bottom Line: PFC Increases Should be Tied to Expansion of M/W/DBE Rules

We also need stronger local M/W/DBE programs

The Airport M/W/DBE Program

Key: The M/W/DBE Program Supports the Local Communities!

Local Jobs and Supports Local Development

Supports a Fair and Even Playing Field

Supports an Environment where Business Has a Direct Stake in the Airport and the Community
