AAM Subcommittees

The Partnership has taken a leadership position facilitating the discussion around Advanced Air Mobility and its role in the movement of goods and commuter travel throughout the Los Angeles region.

The LBEP/Wisk Aero-led Advanced Air Mobility Working Group, consisting of public and private sector members, is actively driving the development of advanced air mobility solutions. Focused on areas such as infrastructure, workforce development, and community engagement, the Working Group collaborates with key stakeholders and conducts an Economic Impact Analysis to guide their objectives. Through engagement with political leaders, adherence to regulatory compliance, and partnerships with organizations like the City of Long Beach, Port of Long Beach, and Long Beach Airport, LBEP aims to harness the potential of advanced air mobility technology for the region’s growth and clean technology ecosystems, creating opportunities across industries and skill sets for residents and businesses.
