Great to be at @EmbryRiddle today to highlight Florida’s leadership in advanced air mobility (AAM). I signed legislation last year to recognize AAM as an official mode of transportation in Florida. Now, we’re building the infrastructure to test these emerging technologies. AAM—including electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft—could soon be used for passenger air-taxi service, cargo delivery, medical transportation, and emergency response missions. Embry-Riddle, as the top university in the nation for aerospace and aviation, is an indispensable partner in this effort. Today, I was proud to announce that construction on much needed improvements along Clyde Morris Boulevard is starting two years ahead of schedule. This fully funded $56 million investment will relieve congestion, mitigate flooding risks, and improve pedestrian safety for the Embry-Riddle campus community.
