Programs
Whether you live in Los Angeles, own a business here, or just want to share your ideas, we invite you to join the movement and participate in Urban Movement Labs’ three main programs.
01
Ideas Accelerator
The Ideas Accelerator brings multi-stakeholder groups together to develop actionable solutions to the most critical transportation issues in L.A., starting the journey with a design workshop.
How Does it Work?
Although anyone can propose a solution or challenge for the Ideas Accelerator to tackle, early projects are inspired by the work across air, land, and sea of three of Urban Movement Labs’ founding public sector partners.
During a structured process, multi-stakeholder groups design solutions that increase the use of sustainable transportation, or ensure safety on roadways and at curbs, or optimize the impacts of urban freight, or improve the experience of transportation for visitors to L.A., or even release underutilized transportation assets for additional housing.

03
Urban Proving Grounds
Through a network of transportation technology innovation zones, mobility solutions can be tested and measured against their positive impacts on people’s everyday lives, from making streets safer and air cleaner to quicker commutes and equitable access.
How Does it Work?
Urban Proving Grounds are areas within L.A. designated for testing innovative transportation solutions, starting with the Warner Center 2035 Plan area.
Over the coming year, Urban Movement Labs will embark on a collaborative and inclusive effort with the Department of Transportation to work with businesses and communities to map out this network of urban proving grounds and to establish rules of engagement for their use. Please contact us to submit your ideas!
