Position
- LASCC's Position: Support and make our members aware of the potential to become involved now.
- An innovative approach in providing a new form of transportation to the public. Though the skies may be more riddled with flying objects, and as a new startup, we should not expect this to help reduce traffic congestion in our freeways. Air services tend to be expensive, and although the vehicles will be electric, which should help reduce the cost on fees for passenger guests, it should still be expected to cost a hefty price.
