Our Compelling Problem

The US air transportation system and highway system, as we know it, is under significant stress. The demand for air transportation is outpacing our ability to increase capacity in our airports, while fuel prices and highway congestion is continuing to have a major negative impact on the US Economy. Construction to expand roadways is very expensive, uses billions of our tax dollars and, essentially, is a waste because it can not ever keep pace with the growing number of people on the roads. Drivers are spending more and more time in traffic, resulting in lost productivity and efficiency for American business. The only alternative to driving, when traveling short distances, is to charter a helicopter, turbo-prop, or light jet which could range from $2,000 - $9,000 an hour, and it may only take 15 minutes to get to your destination, however due to operating cost you're stuck at that "per hour" pricing point.

  • As of 2005, congested highway infrastructure costs our US economy $78.2 billion per year, which includes 3.7 billion gallons of wasted fuel and 4.2 billion lost hours of productivity.

In densely populated, metropolitan areas there is a high level of uncertainty whether or not one will make it to their destination in time, no matter how early one leaves to get there! One accident or lane closure could cause a back-up on the highways for hours... Congestion, compromised drivers, combined with roadways constantly under construction, have led to unnecessary, exorbitant delays and an increase in the number of accidents, which results in the associated rise of insurance rates that are far beyond the reach of many US workers.

Operating and maintenance costs of the air traffic system are outpacing revenues and the air carrier industry is going through significant change. Innovative transportation solutions are being called upon in State and National strategic plans to alleviate stressed areas while transitioning into the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS), which is the modernization of the national airspace system, using digital technology to redefine every element of air transport, from communications and surveillance to navigation and air traffic management, in order to address the nation’s need for increased airspace capacity and efficiency.

Florida First

This infrastructure problem is magnified in Florida, where population growth has long outpaced that of the national average. According to NGATS Demand Projections by Aviation Management Associates, Inc., Florida's population is expected to grow by 6.5 million people by 2025 and in Southeast Florida alone (Palm Beach, Broward and Miami Dade Counties), the population is growing 70% faster than the U.S. average.


The Economic Development Research Institute measured that the annual hours of delay per person rose from 18 hrs in 1993 to 29 in 2003 (an increase of 58%), as compared to a 37% increase nationally. The population of just Miami-Dade and Broward Counties alone is expected to increase by 1.7 million people by 2030. South Florida’s Metropolitan area has multiple urban centers dispersed across a dense 1,116 sq. mile area where one accident or closed lane on the highway, at any give time, may result in 1 to 3 hour delays. South Florida’s future economy requires transportation efficiency and has urgent needs for people to get from one business hub to another in a cost effective and timely manner. Tri-rail and modal bus systems have proven ineffective and private jet/helicopter charter service is beyond the reach of all but the wealthiest travelers.

se fla commuter flowsFor businesses to thrive and compete in the global economy, people must have the option to avoid highway congestion and rising gas/insurance costs all together. Florida, a state that is suffering greatly from the effects of overcrowded highways, must immediately address this issue to facilitate and maintain a business-friendly environment for its economy to thrive. It is way past due for society to address these malicious inefficiencies, utilize it's strengths and view this problem as an opportunity to adopt an alternative, more technologically advanced, environmentally friendly, proven, efficient and cost effective multi-modal air transportation system. It is time to Evolve! That time is now!

Disruptive innovations create new markets and industries. Many of those innovations are on the shelf, well tested, and need to be integrated together. EvoLux believes that the stars (“timing, aviation technologies & resources”) are aligned for such a system to exist, evolve, and revolutionize transportation as we know it. Instead of investing more state and federal tax dollars into outdated infrastructure construction, it is time to commercialize new technologies, use other cost-effective creative solutions, and look up towards the skyways to implement an innovative mode of travel. Flying cars and "Highways-in-the-Skys" were in the dreams of our grandparents. We now have the opportunity to bring those dreams of science fiction to reality within the next 3 to 5 years!

EvoLux will initially provide an alternative solution to I-95 and Turnpike day travel and launch its sky-limo service in South Florida where the need is perhaps greatest, enabling the company to prove its scalable system concept, license patented technologies, and expand through franchising into other domestic and global business markets, that have the same transportation needs, successfully.
