MaineDOT Announces 100% Funding For All NPIAS Airports

Yesterday the MaineDOT announced that they would reimburse 100% of the purchase cost of the GARD® system at all Maine NPIAS Airports.

They are providing the full reimbursement because of the important safety benefits along with the accurate operational counts that the system provides. The operational count software, which is part of the complete system, will easily allow airports to collect and send monthly and yearly operational counts to the State.

Their goal is to have the system installed at all of the Maine NPIAS airports to help improve the overall safety of Maine's Aviation System while also helping to gather more complete and accurate data regarding operations.
