The University of Californis Santa Cruz Campus (UCSC) is the other major half of the political partnership that is needed to to implement a Santa Cruz PRT system.
In a recent settlement of legal issues between the City and UCSC, both parties agreed to spend $100,000.00 to explore a non-roadway transit system between the campus and Downtown. PRT is the only obvious modality to accomplish this. This effort is scheduled to be conveined in the late Spring of 2009.
UCSC Chancellor George Blumenthal has been briefed many times about the merits of PRT and is well aware of its potential to resolve the current traffic overload. UCSC decisions would be reached by Chancellor Blumenthal in concert with his staff.
