Pennsylvania Paves the Way for Flying Cars: The Jetsons Act Takes Off

On November 15, 2025, Pennsylvania is making strides towards embracing the future of personal transportation. The state has reintroduced Senate Bill 1077, also known as the Jetsons Act, during the 2025-2026 Regular Session. This legislation aims to amend the state's transportation laws, creating a new legal category for "roadable aircraft" – vehicles that can operate both on public roads as motor vehicles and in the air as aircraft.

The proposal has been referred to the Senate Transportation Committee, and while a similar version failed to pass last session, State Senator Marty Flynn remains committed to positioning Pennsylvania as a leader in advanced transportation technology. He believes that laying the groundwork now will allow the state to adapt quickly when these vehicles become commercially viable.
