California-based eVTOL company Overair and Urban Movement Labs (UML) will begin work “immediately” on infrastructure studies tied to urban air mobility in the greater Los Angeles area under a new collaboration announced Tuesday. The partnership will focus on community, government, and industry engagement to ensure the implementation of what Overair calls safe, equitable, convenient, and sustainable urban air mobility technology. 

Dubbed the Urban Air Mobility Partnership, the alliance will explore operational and infrastructure development considerations. Meanwhile, Overair will help study the noise effects of eVTOL vehicles and support community engagement efforts to plan workforce and economic development opportunities within the new UAM industry.
