Case Study of Personal Rapid Transit at Village West: Economic Benefits and Sustainability Analysis

This case study examines the implementation of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) at Village West, outlining its economic viability and environmental impact. Key findings include a benefit/cost ratio of 2.57, increased annual sales tax revenue of $19.6 million, and a $21.7 million total cost over ten years. Additionally, simulations at Fort Carson demonstrate 16.93 million annual passengers, with fares of $1.66 covering all net costs. The report emphasizes the necessity of sustainable transport solutions to reduce GHG emissions and highlights the vital steps in stakeholder engagement and system planning.
