While less than 30% of the population lives within 30 minutes of a major hub airport, more than 90% lives within 30 minutes of a small community airport. This illustrates the practicality of using UAM to support user demand between community airports in addition to hub airports, allowing improved access to commerce, commercial airline travel, and urban centers.
We’ve started the Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI) to help our neighbors, communities, and state and local decision makers answer these questions and the many others that naturally come up when the possibility of doing something completely different is on the horizon.
The Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI) celebrated the conclusion of its second Urban Air Policy Collaborative (UAPC) Cohort in June after nine deep-dive educational sessions spanning five months. Topics covered included fundamentals of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including both regional and urban air mobility (RAM / UAM), social equity considerations, integration of AAM with existing transportation, community and environmental impacts, and planning for AAM.
New CAMI Members and a new Urban Air Policy Collaborative Cohort support CAMI’s mission of responsibly integrating air mobility at the state and local level
The Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI) is pleased to invite state and local transportation decision makers and planners to join us in the second cohort of the Urban Air Policy Collaborative (UAPC). A unique opportunity to connect with experts in the urban air mobility (UAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft industry and with other forward-leaning jurisdictions, this cohort of the UAPC will run from January through April 2020 with a series of virtual workshops and events. Upon completion of this four month program, UAPC graduates will join the previous cohort and CAMI member organizations in an ongoing structured networking forum to continue to explore the integration of the third dimension into our communities.
CAMI was honored to join as part of a group of ten organizations active in the urban air mobility space - including members GAMA, VFS, and NBAA - as a signatory of a letter to the Office of Science and Technology Policy supporting the inclusion of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles in its budget priorities for FY2021.
The Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI) announces its launch with the support of its founding members. CAMI is a new nonprofit industry association dedicated to providing communities and the decision makers that support them with the information and tools that will be vital to the successful integration of aviation into our daily transportation options.
