Advanced Transit Policy for the Seattle region       



Top


The Get There Fast Strategy

Policy Outreach & Advocacy: We have a good transit system, a lot of people want to extend its reach and effectiveness. We want to offer them the additional choice of PRT. We aim to grow general public interest in PRT, and interest local policymakers in examining how PRT could help accomplish their goals for transportation and sustainability.

Let's Get Started: Implement a PRT demonstration project, consisting of one local-circulation PRT loop in a Seattle district.

Next Steps: Niche Applications
Local Circulation. Implement small networks of PRT in districts in need of local transit or congestion relief, or in anticipation of future density.
Collector/Distributors. Implement PRT to provide transit service to and from future rail stations, or to connect termini of different rail lines.

Network Evolution

Citywide Rapid Transit: PRT circulators can be linked together, forming a single network.
