This was announced by the US Secretary of Transportation on 7 July. Against a backdrop of widespread saturation of airports with returning travellers, Pete Buttigieg intends to prepare for the future of LAX and the major US airports: " Americans deserve modern airports that meet the needs of their families and the growing demand for passengers "he assures us. " Funded by President Biden's Infrastructure Act, today's grants will improve airport terminals while creating good jobs in communities across the country. "says Pete Buttigieg.
Specifically, this $50 million package will be used to initiate a plan to modernise LAX, in particular by rethinking the airport's main entrance. The project includes construction of 13 km of roads to improve access to the airport's central terminal, and improvements within the hub itself to reduce traffic congestion. " The improved terminal routes, combined with the future automated shuttle system, will radically change the way passengers enter and leave LAX, the world's fifth busiest airport. "say those in charge of the project.
