Mr. Roberts, The Green Resource Hub of the Finger Lakes supports Connect Ithaca始s efforts toward the inclusion of a personal rapid transit system in Ithaca, NY. Within the Finger Lakes region, Ithaca has the size, geography, and progressive mindset that makes it a perfect candidate for such a sustainable transportation infrastructure. Our mission is to enhance the marketplace for sustainable living in the Finger Lakes area and the PRT system touches on so many aspects of the equation. The presence of the universities will not only provide more PRT regular commuters but also a platform to engage students around the development of the PRT system. Local materials manufacturing and computing firms will also be jockeying to contribute. We look forward to a report of your experience at the 3rd Annual International Podcar City Conference. Connect Ithaca has done a fantastic job keeping the topic alive in our community since the conference was here. It is clear that we need to be taking the next steps. We wish you the utmost success. All the best,
Robert Rossi President Green Resource Hub
