Advanced Air Mobility Infrastructure Act.
- Establishes a statewide framework for electric aircraft and vertiport infrastructure development in California.
- Requires the Department of Transportation to create a comprehensive aviation plan for electric aircraft charging and vertiports.
- Mandates the appointment of a state expert to guide local jurisdictions on advanced air mobility implementation.
- Creates an education campaign to inform local officials about the benefits of electric aircraft transportation.
Assembly Member Wilson's Advanced Air Mobility Infrastructure Act directs the California Department of Transportation to develop infrastructure and regulatory frameworks for electric aircraft operations across the state. The legislation requires the department to incorporate vertiports and electric aviation charging facilities into statewide aviation planning while designating an advanced air mobility expert to guide local jurisdictions through technological transitions.
The bill establishes oversight for aircraft weighing 300 pounds or more, including electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) and electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) vehicles. It tasks the department with leading educational initiatives for local officials about electric aircraft capabilities and providing technical resources to standardize planning and zoning requirements statewide. The legislation preserves existing Federal Aviation Administration authority over airspace and aviation safety while maintaining local control over zoning and airport operations.
The measure applies uniformly to all California municipalities, including charter cities, reflecting its designation as a matter of statewide concern. While creating no new appropriations, the bill aims to facilitate coordinated development of advanced air mobility infrastructure through enhanced planning, expertise, and guidance at the state level.
