JPods Network for LAX Objective: By Aug 15, 2013 open JPods solar-powered transport network connecting LAX to Century Blvd hotels, car rental and Aviation Greenline Metro Station.
Problem: Congestion will not solve itself.
Time map: Start at Aviation Green Station
Problems: Congestion, delays, accidents, pollution, gas prices, oil supply risks. Solution: JPods ultra-light personal robotic vehicles move people and cargo suspended from rails without congestion, using 1/10th the energy of cars, buses and passenger trains. Execution: Privately funded solar-powered JPods are built without disrupting current traffic. The beginning of a physical internet, where people, cargo, and trash are sustainably moved from point A to B non-stop. Action: Approve Framework so capital and innovation can be applied within a known regulatory environment.
Start by networking the LAX economic community (hotels, car rental, terminals, trains, parking)
Expand networks based on performance.
Benefits: No emmissions. No congestion. On-demand mobility. Fast dependable service. Jobs in manufacturing, construction and operations. Privately funded, no taxpayer burden. Revenues paid to LA instead of subsidies required. Pays 5% of gross revenues to rights of way holders.
Solution: Change to JPods networks.
Counting ticketing, travel and walking time, from the Blue cross hair, Green areas are within 10 minutes, Yellow within 20 minutes and Red within 30 minutes. Bike and walking areas under JPods rails improve safety and access.
Time map: Start at LAX Airport
