It have somewhat smaller profile thanTaxi2000. Apparently the politics are much different in England. The engineeringmay be superior in some ways. This, along with boxshaped vehicles. spoke with Geoff more than Martin. Nevertheless, the use of one guideway for bidirectional travel isinteresting. I was impressed with the Ultra presentation. The quality of presentation graphics and video is getting noticeably better,no doubt enhanced by greater graphic skills derived from Internet use. This crossdiscipline exchange should serve to increase ATRA vision in everwidening circles, and provide more contacts. The evening Roundtable discussion centered around implementation andfinancing issues.
It illuminated just how many avenues are being explored. Since full PRT system has yet to be deployed, the short take is thatnobody has learned how to do it, but if anyone at the Roundtable was lookingfor expanded ideas and sources to explore they should not have beendisappointed. A lunch meeting involved shaping policy between CPRT HQ and the chaptersthat forming in other cities first in Santa CruzSan Jose with prospectsfor San Antonio, Fresno, and San Francisco. Each participantgets different view. RUF building prototype vehicle and equipment. Clearly the positive aspect was thediversity of participants.
More techcreeping into FTA visions, EV activity increasing with Fords Th! nk Mobilityproject, EV projects expanding, auto and utility companies expanding work onsustainable and cleaner fuels.

It wouldbe great if Ultra were successful and then Arup became fully involved in financing otherprojects. He had chart and placed the first on one axis and the second onthe other. RUF building prototype vehicle and equipment. It be the steakwithout the sizzle. He had little maglev demonstration that fit in the palm of your hand. It is hoped that somecoverage of the conference will make its way into the Times and other media. Conference organizer Bill Flanigan is working on tying up loose ends andshould have post conference information and new direction possibilities onthe NVT2000 web site soon.
