On the House side, AAAE lobbied against an amendment that would prohibit airports from charging any fee (other than a fee charged to the general public for access to or use of any part of the terminal) to any provider of pre-arranged ground transportation service. Local Match Issue: AAAE and airports around the country urged Congress to retain the higher federal share in the FAA bill. However, lawmakers intent on reducing federal spending rejected airport calls to keep the higher federal share in place. Instead, Congress decided that only certain Essential Air Service (EAS) communities would be eligible to retain the 95% federal share.
