About Airports Administration
The County Airports Administration is authorized by the Santa Clara County Code (Section A13-13 (c)) to "Plan, design, construct, maintain and operate County airports." The Board of Supervisors determines the level of service to be provided at the airports, and the Santa Clara County Airports Commission provides advice, studies, and recommendations to the Board on airport issues.
The daily operations of the County Airports are funded entirely by airport users fees and budgeted using the Airport Enterprise Fund. The airport department is completely self sufficent and does not utilize any General Fund tax dollars. Some special projects receive additional funding from the FAA and Caltrans.
The County Airports Administration operates and maintains the County's three general aviation airports at Reid-Hillview (RHV), Palo Alto (PAO) and South County (E16) -- comprised of 7 miles of runways and taxiways, 245 aircraft hangars, 648 aircraft tie-down storage spaces.
