DESCRIPTION:In Santa Cruz County, daily and seasonal congestion stalls economic growth 
 and community vitality. While progress has been made with private 
 micro-transit (bikes, e-bikes, and scooters), two new technologies promise 
 even bigger impacts: automated vehicles (robo-taxis) and Personal Rapid 
 Transit (PRT, or podcars).\n\nA community conversation is needed about 
 weaving these new technologies into our transportation tapestry. Santa Cruz 
 Personal Rapid Transit (SCPRT), Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition 
 (SVCCC), and LoopWorks are organizing this public forum to discuss whether 
 the promised value of adding robo-taxis and podcars is worth the expected 
 costs.\n\nUnlike common public meeting models that are tightly controlled, 
 this forum will use an open-fishbowl format that allows attendees to 
 participate in the conversation. The Forum will clarify for attendees and 
 online viewers the long-term trends in public transit, and ignite community 
 thinking about next steps.\n
