UDOT to Lead Federal Pilot Program for Electric Aircraft and Advanced Air Mobility

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has been selected to lead a federal pilot program focused on emerging aviation technology. This initiative, part of the FAA's BEYOND program, will test the integration of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vehicles, including electric aircraft and drones. The program's goal is to establish safety standards and operational procedures for these new technologies. Utah's diverse geography provides an ideal environment for testing various applications, from package delivery to infrastructure inspection. This positions the state at the forefront of developing the next generation of air travel.
