7 Principles of Urban Air Mobility by the World Economic Forum

Developed by the World Economic Forum and endorsed by the City of LA’s Department of Transportation.

“Noise disturbances should be measured and mitigated by a community first approach to vehicle design, infrastructure siting and route planning. Community noise acceptance metrics should be co-created with stakeholders, including city planners, community associations, vehicle manufacturers, service providers and others.”

We want to remind everyone: Hawthorne Airport is one of the most residentially constrained airports in the nation. This statement comes from Coffman Associates, experts in airport noise control.

Noise Mitigation: Measure and mitigate noise disturbances with a community-first approach.
Multimodal Connectivity: Connect UAM with existing, high-quality transport options for seamless travel.

Governance: Establish a framework for managing the new UAM system.
Living: Ensure the new infrastructure supports the well-being of residents.
Economy: Foster economic growth through the development of the UAM sector.
Environment: Integrate UAM in a way that is environmentally responsible.
Mobility: Improve overall mobility within the city.
Social: Create a system that is equitable and inclusive for all members of society.
