Celebrating American Greatness With American Motor Racing

The Secretary of Transportation is directed to use available funds to facilitate the race and, through the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, to enable permitted use of unmanned aircraft systems for aerial photography, while both Secretaries, in coordination with the Mayor of Washington, D.C., must ensure roads, trails, and bridges on the course are properly maintained.
