Today, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) expressed her satisfaction over the passage of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. This act provides funding for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for a period of five years. Senator Lummis played a pivotal role in ensuring the inclusion of several key provisions that directly benefit Wyoming. These include an increase in funding for local airports, improvements in safety measures, and expanded access to the nation's capital for western states.
"Ensuring the people of Wyoming have reliable, safe and affordable access to travel is incredibly important for our state’s economy," said Lummis. "In addition to boosting our thriving tourism industry, the bill eliminated burdensome regulations that placed undue constraints on small airports and restricted firefighters’ ability to fight wildfires. Most importantly, millions of Wyoming tax dollars sent to Washington will be coming home and put to work in the Cowboy State."
