From building thriving industries to advancing cutting-edge infrastructure, Utah has always been at the forefront of innovation. Now, we're setting the stage for the next breakthrough in transportation: air taxis. For years, our state has been working to bring this revolutionary technology to life with the possibility of reducing road congestion, transforming urban travel and even transporting athletes and fans during the 2034 Winter Olympics. Imagine skipping traffic and soaring straight to your destination. While there’s still work to do, this year’s S.B. 96 was another bold step to integrate air taxis into daily life. https://lnkd.in/gDvnwBQ5 BETA TECHNOLOGIES 47G #utpol #utleg
