Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) could reduce emissions by 6.9 mmt by only building 500 miles of PRT by 2017 in urban areas. Since the system is more desirable than other forms of public transit (no schedule, privacy, reduces congestion), the potential reductions of VMT, and therefore, C02 emissions is much higher. The final ETAAC report (http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/etaac/ etaac.htm) already recommended that California should evaluate this technology. The scoping plan should identify key stakeholders and establish a task force to validate the claims being made by the industry. |
