Project ALTA will fundamentally transform how Utahns travel and how packages are delivered
47G, in partnership with the Governor’s Office, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), the Utah Inland Port Authority and industry stakeholders, is set to launch a game-changing initiative dubbed “Project ALTA.” The Air Logistics Transportation Alliance (ALTA) is a collaborative partnership with a mission to establish an advanced air mobility (AAM) system for Utah.
AAM is a new form of transportation that uses electric aircraft to seamlessly and safely move people and packages. Project ALTA is tasked with creating an air transportation system in Utah by 2034 that will fundamentally transform how Utahns travel and how packages are delivered. AAM has the potential to facilitate the movement of goods and people, increase access to jobs, education and recreational opportunities, significantly improve air quality and enhance Utahns’ quality of life.
