Relating to advanced air mobility.
SB 1507 establishes a framework for developing infrastructure to support advanced air mobility (AAM) in Texas, primarily focusing on electric aircraft like air taxis (eVTOLs) and electric vertical takeoff aircraft. The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to create a dedicated office, develop a statewide strategic plan with industry input, and produce guidebooks for local governments on planning and zoning for vertiports (landing facilities). It directly affects airports, local governments, and aviation infrastructure developers by setting standards for electric aircraft operations and grid capacity needs. The bill is currently pending in the Transportation Committee and would not take effect until enacted, with no specific funding or deadlines outlined.
