Urban Air Mobility Partnership<\/a> in December 2020, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the U.S. to make Los Angeles the unmistakable leader on Urban Air Mobility. A collaboration between the Mayor\u2019s Office, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), and Urban Movement Labs (UML), the program will develop strategies for the integration of UAM into existing transportation networks and land use policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cOur partnership with the City of Los Angeles will be one of\nour major milestones in bringing quick, safe, affordable everyday flight to\ndense urban locations,\u201d said Adam Goldstein, co-Founder and co-CEO of Archer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn identifying our first city partnership, it was critical\nto have a shared vision when it comes to how people will move around more\nseamlessly and with less impact on the environment around them,\u201d added Brett\nAdcock, co-Founder and co-CEO of Archer. He added, \u201cWorking with Urban Movement\nLabs will be invaluable as we collectively advance our programs ahead of our\nfirst customer flights in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cArcher\u2019s commitment to launch their first eVTOL aircraft in\none of United\u2019s hubs means our customers are another step closer to reducing\ntheir carbon footprint at every stage of their journey, before they even take\ntheir seat,\u201d said Michael Leskinen, Vice President of Corporate Development and\nInvestor Relations at United Airlines. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that Los Angeles is\nonly the beginning for Archer and we look forward to helping them extend their\nreach across all of our Hubs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Urban Movement Labs and the City of Los Angeles plan to\ncollaborate to develop the design and access of \u201cvertiports,\u201d a new piece of\nL.A.\u2019s transportation network where people can go to fly on an urban air\nmobility aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur vision is to improve mobility, reduce congestion,\ncreate employment, and promote healthier communities through public and private\nsector collaboration,\u201d said Lilly Shoup, Executive Director of Urban Movement\nLabs. \u201cWorking with companies like Archer which are at the forefront of\ntechnological innovation in the emerging UAM space delivers a unique\nopportunity to take the perspective of our programs beyond just the two\ndimensions of roads and railways, and into the skies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
