This partnership with Urban Movement Labs will create a framework for low-noise, low-emission air transport in Los Angeles. Focus groups, surveys, and online feedback sessions will inform a vertiport design that integrates ground and air transit. The vertiport and other assets will follow the city's Principles of the Urban Sky guidelines. City officials hope the partnership results in the first use of electric aircraft for local transit by 2023.
