New Platform Offers Unprecedented Look at Modernization Efforts
The US Department of Transportation has launched a new website, Modern Skies, to provide transparency into the FAA’s air traffic control modernization projects. The platform offers an interactive map, local impact search engine, and progress tracker, allowing users to explore project locations and track progress. The FAA is using $12.5 billion in federal funding to replace aging infrastructure at over 4,600 sites nationwide. According to the FAA, the site’s data will be refreshed on a monthly basis. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
