Joint applications for FAA or CDOT environmental grants
Share best practices for electrification (e.g., ground support equipment)
Coordinate fuel management and lead-free fuel transition timelines
Share and coordinate efforts across Front Range airports to improve long-term environmental sustainability while preparing for seasonal and climate-driven operational risks.
Cadence:
Annually, typically in the late spring.
Example Topics:
Lessons learned from the recent wildfire season (air quality, visibility, access)
Winter readiness planning (snow, ice, extreme cold events)
Resilient infrastructure design (stormwater, fire hardening, flood prevention)
Electrification of airport operations (vehicles, ground support equipment)
Regional sustainability initiatives (solar fields, energy efficiency upgrades)
Coordinated grant opportunities (FAA VALE, CDPHE climate resilience funds)
Deicing fluid containment and reuse strategies
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and Unleaded fuels
Emergency resource sharing for climate-related disruptions
