Report
Summary
The Friendly Airports for Mothers (FAM) Act passed in October 2018 as part of the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization, requires airports to provide dedicated nursing facilities past security checkpoints by 2021 for airports receiving federal grants. Both Terminals 2 and 3 are compliant.
PHX will be purchasing standard and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant and accessible units to be placed at up to six post-security locations in Terminal 4 to ensure PHX is in compliance of the FAM Act. The requested units will provide conveniently located nursing areas for traveling mothers in Terminal 4, which has seven concourses and currently only has one nursing location. Terminal 4 has more than 80 percent of the passenger traffic at the airport and is home to both Southwest and American Airlines. The City may purchase up to six units during the term of the contract.
