The Department of Transportation in the USA has launched a new family-friendly travel campaign to improve the experience for families in airport terminals.

An investment of US$1bn will fund more family-friendly resources in airports, including more children’s play areas and exercise areas, mothers’ rooms or nursing pods, reconfigured security checkpoints to create family screening lanes and sensory rooms for children with additional needs.

The notice of funding opportunity outlines the application criteria. Airports are encouraged to submit eligible projects as soon as possible but must do so by January 15, 2026.
