2. steve_raney@cities21.org PRT – Personal Rapid Transit Feeder / Distributor / Circulator –Similar to a monorail. Video, MS CampusVideoMS Campus High service level, no waiting, faster than a car. –Non-stop, 30 MPH –Bypasses intermediate stations –Ride alone or with 1-2 people you choose –Convenient stops by buildings (not on street) –Comfortable, quiet, safe, no exhaust –24x7 6 development efforts underway –UK, Sweden, Korea, MN, TX, Dubai.

8. steve_raney@cities21.org Design: 200 meter walk radius

9. steve_raney@cities21.org Design: Superblocks, etc Ped hostility (visual boredom, fast cars) –Avoid pedestrian street crossings (Don’t have a PRT station serve two sides of a street) 3 canals. 3 crossings with inexpensive prefabricated bridges (avoid a PRT station).

13. steve_raney@cities21.org 3 PRT loops Semi-independent for higher capacity

14. steve_raney@cities21.org “Horizontal mixed use” Urban mixed use: convenience: “walk to a quart of milk.” 4 story apts, retail on first floor. HBP (great mix of uses, via auto access) –IKEA, Best Buy, Pier 1, Barnes and Noble, Bed Bath and Beyond, Old Navy, WalMart –Recreation: gyms, spas, creekside hiking/biking trails, city parks, and a 20-screen multiplex cinema with IMAX –Variety of shops and restaurants at varying price points –Services: daycare, bank, copy-making, financial, real- estate, dry cleaners, dentist, doctor, optometrist, children’s educational centers, middle school, tanning, and nail salons Thus, “PRT+walk” (horizonal movement) to access uses. HBP will in-fill w/ walkable mixed use over time.

15. steve_raney@cities21.org Ridership Guesstimate Pencil out a biz case – 57K trips/day (thus 3 loops) 3 PRT trips per day per resident –9,500 residents 29,000 workers –0.5 shopping/recreation, 0.5 commute-related residents: more trips per person –Needs research.

Route Village Pkwy Route San Ramon Road Route Santa Rita Road Route Hopyard Road Route Valley Ave. Route Flexpooling Workers cooperate to reduce traffic along specific corridors. HBP workers with long commutes (and empty seats) spend a few minutes to pick up workers with shorter commutes. 20+ cars per hour Cellular & FasTrak/RFID Taxis/shuttles too Background checks, arrival verification, reputation ratings Some drivers leave I680 early to make pickups.

18. steve_raney@cities21.org Promising Results (85 surveys) Remove 5,000 autos, in-fill 50 acres –Huge transit village  land value increase 1.4 PRT trips/day/worker => PRT: profitable Apply to 6M workers in major emp. centers –1.98M cars, 12B VMT, 424M gals, 4MM tons CO 2.

21. steve_raney@cities21.org Why is BART ridership low? Doesn’t match O/D Limited parking at many BART stations Auto welcoming policy at job site (vs. downtown SF $20 per day parking) Serpentine BART routes
