Modernizes the Air Traffic Control System.
The Budget provides approximately $800 million for the Next Generation Air Transportation
System, a long-term effort to improve the efficiency, safety, and capacity of the air traffic
control system. The 2010 Budget supports moving from a ground-based radar surveillance
system to a more accurate satellite-based surveillance system; development of more efficient
routes through the airspace; and improvements in aviation weather information.
The Administration is committed to maintaining small communities’ access to the
National Airspace System. The Budget provides a $55 million increase over the 2009 level to
the Department of Transportation (DOT) to fulfill current program requirements as demand
for subsidized commercial air service increases. However, the program that delivers this subsidy
is not efficiently designed. Through the budget process, the Administration intends to work with
the Congress to develop a more sustainable program model that will fulfill its commitment while
enhancing convenience for travelers and improving cost effectiveness.
