[Sosfbay-discuss] Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) conference

[Rob Means]

The Advanced Transit Association (http://www.advancedtransit.org/) wants
to facilitate a network of California city officials - both elected and
administrative - who are at least open to PRT.  If you know of any,
please advise them of the upcoming PRT conference in Oakland on March 6.
The conference is entitled Carbon-Free Mobility.  Preliminary
information is at: http://www.advancedtransit.org/doc.aspx?id=2109
The keynote address will be delivered by noted land use planner Peter
Calthorpe.

VTA has recently taken an interest in Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) as
the technology for the Airport to LRT and BART connector.

Here's a brief introductory video on what PRT is and how it works:
