Community Infrastructure
Uniting Communities and Creating Access for Every Utahn
Advanced air mobility requires new and modified ground infrastructure — vertiports, charging stations, and updated facilities — to bring electric aircraft to Utah communities. We’re making that happen now.
Secured $2 million in the 2025 legislative session for electric aircraft charging infrastructure
Identified the first four charging locations across Utah in partnership with UDOT
Building a statewide infrastructure network to support cargo, medical response, and regional passenger operations
Summer 2026: real-world AAM operations expected to begin in Utah under the federal eIPP program.
Passenger Transport
Changing the Way Utahns Move
Electric aircraft will give Utahns faster, cleaner travel options, connecting urban centers, rural communities, and everything in between.
In March 2025, BETA Technologies conducted electric aircraft demonstration flights across multiple Utah communities
Flights showcased how electric aircraft can reduce congestion and improve access in both urban and rural areas
Utah’s mountainous terrain, varied weather, and regional travel corridors make it an ideal proving ground for AAM
Advanced air mobility is being evaluated as a key transportation solution for the 2034 Winter Olympic Games
Cargo Transport
Enabling Economic Opportunity
Autonomous aerial cargo vehicles will help Utah businesses move products faster and more efficiently, reducing road congestion and strengthening local economies.
Cargo transport is a core use case in Utah’s federal eIPP program
Industry partners Joby Aviation, BETA Technologies, and Ampaire are involved in Utah’s regional testing
Planned operations include emergency medical logistics and rural delivery in addition to commercial cargo
Utah’s eIPP project spans 5 states, creating a regional logistics network across the Mountain West
Delivery
Serving Communities Across Utah
Autonomous aerial delivery is already changing how Utahns access goods, from life-saving medicines to everyday essentials. We’re committed to expanding these services safely and equitably.
Delivery operations are expanding to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality
Lower shipping costs and faster delivery times benefit communities across the state
Rural and underserved communities stand to gain the most from aerial delivery access
Policy
An Elevated Approach
Utah is not waiting for federal policy to catch up, we’re helping write it.
47G worked with state legislators to pass a state resolution backing advanced air mobility initiatives
Facilitated meetings with the FAA Administrator in September 2025 and January 2026
Coordinated meetings at the U.S. Department of Transportation in January 2026
In March 2026, Utah was selected as 1 of 8 national partners for the FAA eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP)
eIPP data from Utah’s project will directly inform new federal AAM regulations nationwide
Collaboration
Building Utah’s AAM Ecosystem
47G serves as Utah’s central convener for advanced air mobility, bringing government, industry, and community to the same table.
Hosts bimonthly AAM Committee meetings with industry, state agencies, airports, utilities, and federal partners
Partnership and MOU with BETA Technologies to establish a statewide AAM transportation framework
47G leadership spoke at the Paris Air Show and AUVSI XPONENTIAL, representing Utah on the global stage
Ongoing engagement with leading aircraft OEMs to align Utah with the latest developments in certification and operational readiness
