The Podcar City Conferences are an initiative of the Institute for Sustainable Transportation (IST) in cooperation with the International Institute for Sustainable Transportation (INIST), ATRA and the KOMPASS Network to gather major stakeholders who are affected by today’s transportation issues at all levels.
The aim is to have an open and creative debate on what Podcars (Personal and Group Rapid Transit) are, what the vendors claim to be possible, what communities are looking for, and what critics and supporters have to say.
Podcar City, November 4-6, 2015 in Silicon Valley, will be the 9th annual international conference on the development and use of Automated Transit Networks, or ATN systems. Since 2007 the conference has been held in Sweden, Germany and the USA.
We anticipate an audience of 150-250 professionals and an additional 100 university students from several career paths. The main target groups are city planners, transit planners, consultants, architects, engineers, investors, developers and elected officials.
