RALEIGH — The state wants public feedback on the use of drones.

Drones “are quickly becoming an important part of the state’s transportation landscape,” the N.C. Department of Transportation says.

DOT’s Division of Aviation launched an online survey this week to gather comments on drones, which the government calls Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

The survey is online at www.ncdot.publicinput.com/3139. It takes only a few minutes and can be filled out by anyone, even someone who has never seen a drone, DOT says.

The survey asks peoples’ thoughts and concerns about the current and future applications of drones, including noise, privacy and safety, delivery of medical supplies and assistance in search and rescue.

“We want to make informed decisions based on what people in our state want and what they are concerned about,” said Basil Yap, DOT’s UAS program manager.
