New Urban Air Mobility Group Hopes To Help Shape Future Policy
The Community Air Mobility Initiative aims to work directly with local and state officials as well as focus on public education.
The new Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI) will assist in developing the emerging urban air mobility (UAM) industry, as well as aid cities with the integration of such systems. UAM involves not just airspace concerns but also infrastructure-related issues such as where to locate landing ports for eVTOLS and how the distribution of those ports would affect various modes of a city’s ground transportation system.

The Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI) has been formed around the emerging urban air mobility (UAM) industry and will assist in its development, as well as help cities integrate such systems, the Seattle-based nonprofit organization announced today. “New technologies and new aircraft promise to make flight accessible and practical on a daily basis for more people than ever before,” said CAMI co-executive director Anna Dietrich. “With that promise comes the responsibility to integrate those aircraft into our communities safely, responsibly, and equitably. We created CAMI as the industry’s commitment to our neighbors and the decision-makers who support them to work to ensure that happens.”
