The report outlines the basic features of a Transportation System for growing cities of medium size (400,000 to 800,000 population). The major consideration of the study was toward the provision of a safe, convenient, all-weather and economical door to door movement of people and goods at reasonably high average speeds on vehicles capable of operating both on a guided enclosed system and on existing city roads. It is suggested that the proposed system must provide the following: (1) The flexibility, privacy, comfort and convenience of the private automobile. (2) Capacity adequate to handle 50% of the trips to the downtown in a city with potential growth to a total population of one million. (3) Reliable transportation, safer than the private automobile, at a cost competitive to that of transit service by a bus system. (4) A flexible and expandable system which would function efficiently at the various stages of the city's development, and be compatible with existing modes of transportation. (5) Relief to the problems of air pollution, traffic congestion, and downtown parking. (6) Good collection in the suburbs, good line haul at a reasonable speed, and an adequate downtown distribution service for the commuter and shopper. (Author)
