THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION 

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) enables highly automated, cooperative, passenger or cargo-carrying air transportation services in and around urban areas. UAM is a subset of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) concept under development by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and industry. As a subset of AAM, UAM focuses on operations moving people and cargo in metropolitan and urban areas.

Transportation is constantly evolving. Each step forward yields new opportunities that fundamentally change the relationship that humankind has with distance and travel. While it may not significantly reduce surface traffic volume, UAM will provide an alternative mode of transportation that should reduce traffic congestion during peak times. 

 The Fullerton Airport is partnering with WISK to bring urban air mobility to the region. Read more here.
