ATRA’s Fundraising Drive

November 3rd, 2014

balloons2014 has been another active year for Advanced Transit. We look forward to 2015 to continue to help shepherd automation into public mobility. We will continue with traditional activities, starting with the Technix meeting on Saturday, January 10 and continuing throughout the year.

ATRA needs your support for all of our activities in 2015. ATRA president, Stan Young, and Chair of the Board, Alain Kornhauser, have each donated $500 of their personal funds to kickoff ATRA’s end-of-year fundraising drive. Can you match that? Any and all donations are appreciated.


Or send a check to our treasurer, check made to Advanced Transit Association.

Help make 2015 yet another high-water year for automated transit.
