Course Details
AAM operations are anticipated to begin as early as 2028. Will cities and communities be ready for this new and disruptive form of transportation? What land use changes, zoning restrictions, and agency partnerships need to be in place to provide a seamless transition to mobility in the third dimension? This presentation will help planners prepare for future challenges by providing them with a comprehensive understanding of AAM and its potential applications in local government planning. It will equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively integrate this technology into their planning strategies, considering the unintended consequences of past transportation and aviation decisions.
The presentation will showcase innovative approaches and case studies from Orlando, FL, and Los Angeles, CA, inspiring planners to think creatively and explore new possibilities in their planning processes. In each case study, the presentation will demonstrate how these communities seek to balance the needs of an exciting new technology while considering equitable access and impacts on underserved and environmental justice communities.
By learning about the latest advancements and best practices in planning for AAM, planners will be able to apply innovative approaches that enhance transportation efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in their communities.
