Dear Colleague
 
Peter Muller
2013 promises to be an interesting year. The Vectus PRT system in Suncheon South Korea should open to the public, JPods is announcing a Letter of Intent with Fayetteville, GA, Ultra has announced Memoranda of Understanding for feasibility studies with business partners in Malaysia, Taiwan and Brazil, and expects their Amritsar project to move ahead in India, while SkyTran is developing a project in Israel. We are busy with a number of interesting projects/prospects in the US and abroad.
 
If you are in the DC area next week you may want to drop into the ATRA Technix Conference followed by the Annual Transportation Research Board Meeting.

 

Best regards, 

Peter J. Muller, P.E. 

President
