Abstract:This report examines existing guidelines in Idaho and in other states that lead in the implementation of UAS, in order to identify strategies to promote and regulate their use in Idaho’s airspace from the surface to 400 feet AGL. UAS innovations accelerate project delivery, increase roadway safety, reduce congestion, and improve environmental sustainability. The ITD Division of Aeronautics is responsible for building a UAS Program to support ITD’s strategic goals of safety, mobility, and economic opportunity. As a result of the FAA’s evolving regulatory authority, state DOTs are individually addressing the challenges of UAS integration into public policy. The report summarizes best practices from leading state DOT UAS programs and develops evidence-based recommendations for strengthening ITD’s UAS Program. This includes determining UAS uses to meet agency needs, establishing UAS program management practices, developing protocols for safe UAS use, procedures to effectively incorporate UAS into highway design and construction, pavement and bridge inspections, surveys, and stockpile monitoring among other uses. The report can guide statutes, policies, rules, and programs in Idaho that promote and regulate UAS use by public agencies, businesses, and the general public. This is a synthesis of information that can assist in identifying areas for improvement within Idaho’s existing laws, and development of new policies for advanced air mobility. This includes jurisprudence discussions related to air space, land use and zoning, public safety, trespassing and privacy, and enforcement roles and authorities.
