This assessment of advanced group rapid transit (AGRT) was made in response to a request of the House Committee on Appropriations to evaluate the need for this technology and its relationship to national mass transportation goals. Increases in traffic congestion, petroleum shortages, and decreasing mobility for the transit-dependent reflect a growing need for more efficient and effective transportation options. This report examines the need for further advances in automated guideway transit (AGT) technology and evaluates their potential impacts on various stakeholder groups.
