CAMI’s members are committed to our mission to support the responsible integration of the third dimension of travel at the state and local level.

CAMI is grateful for their support which enables the development of publicly available resources and ongoing programs in education, communication and collaboration. Anna Mracek Dietrich, CAMI’s Director of Industry & Strategy explains: “By combining perspectives and sharing resources we can co-create a vision of the future of transportation that is sustainable, equitable, and successful. Our members make this possible.”

CAMI’s Urban Air Policy CollaborativeTM (UAPC) has launched its second Cohort of public agencies working together to develop a framework of policies and best practices for the local implementation of advanced air mobility through the sharing of knowledge, discussion of issues, development of recommendations, and collaboration with peers through an ongoing program of workshops, presentations and conversations.

“As the industry matures the technologies needed to bring electric aircraft into communities, the need to bridge the work of the industry with the local communities where this technology will be implemented is becoming ever more acute,” said Yolanka Wulff, Executive Director. “CAMI understands the importance of working with all of the stakeholders to develop a vision for advanced air mobility that benefits as many community members as possible and is an integral part of our transportation systems and daily lives.”
