One national award winner and finalist will be selected in each of the following categories each year.
Military airports are any active military facility used to operate aircraft.
Reliever and General Aviation Airports - An airport that has been designated to relieve congestion at large commercial service airports and provide alternative general aviation access to the overall community. A General Aviation Airport is an airport that remains after exclusion of the commercial service and reliever airport categories. If a project at a commercial service airport is for general aviation use only, the project is eligible for consideration in this category. This category includes projects on state and U.S. routes that use strategies similar to the Divided Highways category. A special award category will recognize one overlay project from all of the categories.
