LA Mayor outlines plans for city’s first transport innovation zone

  • Date: 11/25/2020

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has announced the creation of the city’s first Transportation Technology Innovation Zone – an area where private sector firms can test their transportation technology solutions.

Designed by Mayor Garcetti and City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield, the zone is one of the flagship programmes of Urban Movement Labs (UML) – the transportation solutions accelerator launched in November 2019 – and aims to transform the Warner Center neighbourhood into ‘one of LA’s mobility innovation and workforce development hubs’.

The zone’s first pilot will be a zero-emissions, last-mile delivery service to help connect housebound residents with food from local businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative was selected based on feedback from community members, businesses and innovators.
