Description
An extensive transportation development policy has been released by the Massachusetts DOT, which is requesting public comment. The goal of “Beyond Mobility” is to create a blueprint for guiding transportation decision-making and investments over the next 25 years. Included among the several aviation projects in the plan is exploring how new technologies around aerial vehicles can limit both their carbon footprint and offset emissions. For example, the Smart Microgrid Project at Barnstable Airport will incorporate the use of electric buses and electric charging stations for aircraft equipment, airport vehicles, and rental car companies to prepare residents for the future of electric aircraft. Comments are due by May 31, 2024.
