Summary
Alleviating Spaceport Traffic by Rewarding Operators Act of 2025 This bill allows the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish a pilot grant program for projects to construct, repair, maintain, or improve transportation infrastructure and facilities for space launch and reentry sites.

DOT may also issue a supplemental matching grant to an operator of a launch or reentry site.
