Transportation Issues

Overview: NAAA is involved in a number of transportation issues. This includes attempts to prevent the placement of cell and wind-energy towers in the flight path of ag planes and on arable farm land, to trying to update the Federal Air Regulations pertaining to agricultural aviation to take into account the modernized aerial application industry. It also includes attempts to make highway transportation regulations more favorable to the aerial application industry by petitioning the DOT to allow industry operators to apply for “Restricted” commercial drivers licenses and additional needed regulatory relief.
