1. 2020 GHG? Gas tax? Car insurance? Will SoCal meet 2020, 2035 GHG transp tgts? Raise gas tax by $5/gal  28% less driving? Save $ on car insurance when you drive less? –But pay more for 20,000 miles per year –Cuts driving ~3.5% Eliminate free workplace parking? –Pay $2 to drive alone and park at work –Receive $4 for transit, carpool, bike, telecommute –Cuts commute 23% Large iMobility component.

2. ULTra PRT iMobility – Steve Raney Personal Rapid Transit - video “Best airport transfer devices ever” “Awesome sci-fi system” “quicker, easier and greener.” “Geek transportation par excellence!” “Soooo cool!! Addicting!!”

6. Comprehensive, Integrated iMobility Door to Door Delivery services, Personal activities, Business services first mile Train, HSR first mile Bus Web/wireless coordination Supportive policy context Scale! Short carpool pick up first mile Long carpool Improved match-making Shared pkng, AndroidPooling PRT system LAST MILE mid-day trips Centralized Cars: share, rent, ride home Walk Bike, scooter AndroidPooling

7. PRT last mile market research Predicts large change in commute away from drive alone Ability to re-develop lonely parking spaces  real-estate “upside” Value of time at lunch is 2X hourly salary –Use PRT to go to lunch? Starbucks?.

8. SoCal PRT applications Anaheim – Metrolink/HSR to Disney LAX – rental cars & hotels Irvine Spectrum – last mile from Metrolink Long Beach circulator Warner Center Circulator.

9. Anaheim Rapid Connection PRT beats ~$700M, 3.5 mi, 5-station APM APM – automated people mover.

12. ULTra London Heathrow Term. 5 BAA: privatized, owns LHR + 4 airports –US retail contracts: Baltimore, Logan, Pittsburg –Grupo Ferrovial acquired for $20B 2 year Transport study: –low emissions, space efficient –high level of service, value –Bus & APM lost –“PRT: only practical soln: 60% travel time savings, 40% operating cost savings” –Small starter system, then expand Held PRT competition: ULTra won => negotiation BAA took equity interest in ULTra PRT.

13. ULTra LHR Terminal 5 N Parking to T5 2.4 mi of track 21 vehicles 500,000 pax/year expected T5: 10 th largest “airport” in Europe

14. 2 Business T5 Parking Stations(2 berths)  T5 (6 berths)

15. $7M - $13M Cost per mile Cost function = f { – System size (larger is cheaper because of fixed costs) – Station Density (more stations/mile => higher cost) – Peak hour trip demand (more demand => more vehicles) – Guideway: Elevated At-grade Tunnel Culvert Cantilever Bi-directional Seismic requirements “Curviness” – Stations: “fancy” costs more – Vehicle customizations. – Desired average passenger wait time (shorter wait => more vehicles) }.

17. Safety / Safety Certification Automated transit (APMs): 100X safer than driving & at-grade transit US / ASCE APM Standards – Airport APMs: same safety standard – BAA & ULTra PRT on the ASCE committee 361 ULTra hazard cases – Earthquake, truck crashes into column, falling debris, fire, bad people, extreme weather, vehicle fails on guideway, slipping on stairs, etc..
