Los Angeles' Advanced Air Mobility Pioneers Share Their Inside Track on Transforming Public Transportation
Integrating Advanced Air Mobility: a Primer for Cities is a new publication from the Urban Air Movement Labs public-private partnership working to lay the ground work for eVTOL air taxi services in southern California.

Urban Movement Labs (UML) has published a guide for communities looking to include eVTOL aircraft in their mix of public transportation options. The public-private not-for-profit alliance, which is working with the city of Los Angeles, says that its publication Integrating Advanced Air Mobility: a Primer for Cities gives municipal and other government stakeholders an overview of the emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) technologies, as well as, “steps to consider during exploratory and initial planning phases, and considerations for the near future.”

The 65-page guide is based largely on work already done to bring AAM to sprawling Los Angeles. This covers almost two years of planning and policy formulation since Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti set up what is now called the Advanced Air Mobility Partnership.
