"At age 56 and after many decades of seeing worsening traffic congestion, sprawl, etc., from a front row seat as a highway engineer and transportation planner, and seeing no long term solution through conventional mass transit or highways; I came across ATRA via the internet and decided to join. The ATRA mission to promote automated transportation seemed unerringly logical. ATRA has been extremely rewarding in learning about automated transportation, its history, and its potential for meeting transportation needs. However, the most rewarding aspect has been the personal contacts with the leaders and experts in the field. ATRA has in effect set me on a new career. I would particularly urge young people to join ATRA. As a budding new transportation paradigm, automated transportation offers a ground floor opportunity for a life time career with enormous potential."

Dennis Manning, former planner and engineer, California Department of Transportation

"For the last 25 years I thought that I was the only person who was interested in PRT (though I didn't know that that's what people were calling it). It's only been a couple of months since I discovered that there are books, associations, and companies working on the field. So you can imagine how much I'm looking forward to the (Alden) seminar, and to meeting you and other people who believe in PRT."

William Ackel, Lodi, California
