Advanced air mobility (AAM) involves the use of innovative aircraft technologies to transport passengers and cargo, typically on demand. While the AAM ecosystem will initially rely on existing airports, heliports, and routes, future developments may include dedicated facilities and new routes. The widespread adoption of AAM has the potential to impact a variety of stakeholders across multiple sectors. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, January 27, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will provide an overview of the strategies and tools needed to foster successful outreach and engagement with stakeholders.
This webinar is based on ACRP Research Report 261: Advanced Air Mobility and Community Outreach: A Primer for Successful Stakeholder Engagement.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.
