  2. Basic Assumptions • Proven technology that can be deployed immediately • 25 mph (40 kph) maximum speed • Small networks • Shared vehicles, especially during peak periods, to increase capacity • All seated -- allows higher acceleration and jerk levels, which means shorter guidewayramps • 4-passenger vehicles – a small vehicle allows a narrow, low-cost guideway www.REJConsult.com

  3. Example of Narrow ATN Guideway www.REJConsult.com

  4. Montgomery County, Maryland • 998,000 population • $94,000 median household income • Immediately Northwest of Washington, DC • 21% population growth expected by 2040 • 39% employment growth expected by 2040 • Served by Red Line of Washington Metrorail • Peak hour flows to/from I-270 corridor www.REJConsult.com
