Welcome to Podcar City : San Jose - Innovating Sustainable Communities
Silicon Valley is the epicenter of a technology revolution that circled the globe and transformed the way we work. Now it’s time for another revolution – a green revolution. We’re not talking only about light bulbs and recycling. We’re thinking much bigger. We’re thinking about green transportation – something that can enhance the value of traditional public transit while helping to reduce traffic congestion and the choking pollution that goes with it.
This is something we all can do, whether we are from Silicon Valley or any other place in the U.S. or the world. We are already talking about high-speed rail in the U.S. – something we should have done a long time ago, when other countries were already on board. Now we can enhance those innovations with podcars – a creative, new technology that will help us use traditional transit systems more efficiently.
Can we really put away our personal cars for at least some of our trips? Can we make the change to six-passenger fixed-rail cars that connect us to our destinations or to traditional mass transit? Of course, we can! And we can build the infill projects along those podcar lines that will make more efficient use of urban land without sacrificing our quality of life. In fact, that quality of life will become better!
Podcar City: San Jose will help us look at the many ways we can feed in to the rail stations with podcars and other sustainable transportation, develop the real estate and urban areas into sustainable living space, and integrate it all with renewable energy and agricultural production.
We have the right combination of creative thinkers, innovators, visionaries, leaders, and dedicated residents to make Silicon Valley the center of yet another technology revolution. Are you on board with us?
