The Obama administration was elected on its "time for a change" platform and true to that position has established the opportunity for feedback on change ideas for America. To that end the administration has created a citizen briefing book for the President elect to review ideas for change.

It is no surprise then to find that "Greening America" with technologies such as PRT is right out front in the feedback from the citizens of America. Visit the site and search on PRT to see the ideas that are being put forwar. Register, add comments and vote for PRT

Intelligent Transportation Network System
The Intelligent Transportation Network System (ITNS) is a totally new form of public transportation designed to provide a high level of service safely and reliably over an urban area of any extent in all reasonable weather conditions without the need for a driver’s license, and in a way that minimizes cost, energy use, material use, land use, and noise. Being electrically operated it does not emit carbon dioxide or any other air pollutant.

This remarkable set of attributes is achieved by operating vehicles automatically on a network of minimum weight, minimum size exclusive guideways, by stopping only at off-line stations, and by using light-weight, sub-compact-auto-sized vehicles.

With these physical characteristics and in-vehicle switching ITNS is much more closely comparable to an expressway on which automated automobiles would operate than to conventional buses or trains with their on-line stopping and large vehicles. We now call this new system ITNS rather than High-Capacity Personal Rapid Transit, which is a designation coined over 35 years ago.
