NCTCOG offers $1M in funding for public-use airports in North Texas to support electric charging infrastructure for Advanced Air Mobility and eVTOL readiness. Applications due August 7, 2026.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is announcing the North Texas Advanced Air Mobility Readiness Call for Projects to support near-term airport infrastructure improvements that help prepare the region for the next generation of aviation activity. Through this initiative, NCTCOG is making one million dollars ($1,000,000) in Regional Transportation Council local funding available to eligible public-use airports in the 12-county NCTCOG region for electric charging infrastructure that supports Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft readiness. This Call for Projects is intended to help airports move from planning to implementation by supporting practical infrastructure investments that improve AAM readiness. Eligible projects should demonstrate how the proposed charging infrastructure will prepare the airport to support future eVTOL operations, attract operators or private-sector partners, strengthen regional AAM deployment opportunities, and align with existing airport planning documents such as the Airport Layout Plan or Airport Master Plan. **Solicitation Type**: G-CFP - Grant - Call for Projects (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2728714.C20279276 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 08/07/2026 06:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic or Physical Bid Submission **Additional Bidding Instructions**: Three (3) signed copies of the application and supporting materials submitted “in hand” to NCTCOG offices, and one (1) electronic copy should be submitted to TransRFPS@nctcog.org. An in-hand submittal may consist of either a hard-copy application or a flash drive delivered by the deadline. Flash drives that are unreadable or contain corrupted files will be considered nonresponsive. The in-hand submittal will count as the official submittal. An electronic submittal should also be sent to TransRFPs@nctcog.org. However, the electronic submittal is not sufficient to constitute an application on its own and will only be considered a courtesy/convenience copy. In addition to the hard copy submittal, NCTCOG is testing a new e-procurement system and encourages a courtesy electronic submission of the application through Bidnet at https://www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/nctcog . Instructions for how to submit through Bidnet can be found on the NCTCOG purchasing page at https://www.nctcog.org/agency-administration/purchasing. Electronic documents must be submitted in PDF format. Graphics (maps, diagrams, renderings): PDF, JPEG, or bitmap format. Applications containing original signatures should be labeled “Original.” No supplemental information (other than administrative clarifications) will be accepted after the application deadline. Deadline: In accordance with Call for Projects Procedures, or similar mechanism, established by the Regional Transportation Council Bylaws, NCTCOG must have the submitted project applications “in hand” at the NCTCOG offices by 5:00 pm CST on August 7, 2026. Applications received after that time will not be considered and will be returned to the applicant unopened. A postmark by the established deadline does not constitute an on-time application. Project sponsors are encouraged to submit their applications far enough in advance of the submission deadline to allow NCTCOG staff to review applications for completeness.
