Help Elected Representatives See the Future of Local Transportation
As congestion worsens, our elected representatives appear to be without a solution. Perhaps a public conversation between informed and caring members of the community will clarify for them, and others, what is going on – and what we can do moving forward.
In Santa Cruz County, progress has been made with private micro-transit (bikes, e-bikes, and scooters). Now, two new technologies promise widespread community benefits: automated vehicles (robo-taxis) and Personal Rapid Transit (PRT, or podcars).
Join the Public Forum on the Future of Local Transportation
In Santa Cruz County, daily and seasonal congestion stalls economic growth and community vitality. While progress has been made with private micro-transit (bikes, e-bikes, and scooters), two new technologies promise even bigger impacts: automated vehicles (robo-taxis) and Personal Rapid Transit (PRT, or podcars).
A community conversation is needed about weaving these new technologies into our transportation tapestry. Santa Cruz Personal Rapid Transit (SC-PRT), Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition (SVCCC), and LoopWorks are organizing this public forum to discuss whether the promised value of adding robo-taxis and podcars is worth the expected costs.
