Economic Impact Report for Advanced Autonomous Aircraft Technologies in Ohio

It is the intent of this research to complete a - Urban and Regional Air Mobility (URAM), which is an accessible air transport system for passengers and cargo in all environments and Unmanned Aircraft Traffic Management (UTM), Civilian Low-altitude (400' and below) Airspace and Unmanned Aircraft System Operations economic impact report for managed air corridors for the state of Ohio connecting Ohio's major urban centers, emphasizing an air corridor connecting Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland. This report will be used as a guide for Ohio's future investments and research in autonomous aircraft technologies The FlyOhio Initiative is focused on enabling the lower altitude airspace concentrating on the advancement of autonomous aircraft technologies in Ohio. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) realizes the economic and efficiency benefits for the management of the lower altitude airspace as a vehicle to enable additional modes of transportation and commerce. Ohio is committed to the tax payers to maintain and progress its investments to stay at the forefront of technology and to meet all the goals set forth by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
