Mission

The mission of the Tahoe Truckee Airport District is to provide safe, high-quality services and facilities, reduce impact on our neighbors, the environment and invest in opportunities that benefit the entire region. We will reduce aircraft noise impact with technology and improve safety operations. Our tax money should benefit all residents in the Truckee region not just airport users and give back to the community.

Vision

Truckee airport is our airport to support our families with aerial fire protection, emergency aerial medical transportation, a community gathering space and a center of STEM education for youth. I understand business and aviation safety, noise abatement and environmental stewardship. We can protect our homes with fire prevention programs, increased safety procedures and reduce accidents and noise reductions. I will bring these services to the Truckee Community, with your support.
