摘要: |
Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is an emerging technology that has the potential to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and the consumption of petroleum products by reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). This research study funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) evaluates the feasibility of implementing a PRT system and policies to promote transit oriented development (TOD) in Ithaca, NY. The report documents the history and current state of PRT development. It defines the various components of a PRT system and identifies the most appropriate components for application in Ithaca. Through economic and environmental assessments, the study documents how the PRT system together with TOD will reduce vehicle miles travelled, enhance the quality of life and promote economic development in New Yorks small and mid-sized cities. / Title Note: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Connect Ithaca, Ithaca, NY.
