Mobility, Energy, Security, Productivity and Health…. Transportation Between

and Within Cities30-50% of all flights within the U.S. are between locations that could be

reached in less time with rapid public rail links at 1/5 th of the energy which would be electric rather than kerosene. (Preliminary survey conducted by Hartkopf)

National security, comfort and health implications.

Linking inter-city rapid transportation to in-city light rail, dedicated right of way systems. (Cologne has about 750 long distance/regional trains per 24 hours, not including S-Bahn and U-Bahn trains)

•Linking light rail stations with “as you need/pay” flex cars and bicycles (examples: Paris, Brussels)•Linking Pedestrian movement

Data source:

EIA, Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey 1995; PG&E, Commercial Building Survey Report 1999; UK National Statistics* Germany average practice is calculated based on the energy consumption measurements of 15 German office buildings built between 1990 and 2002 (with primary

energy consumption ranging from 180kWh/m2 to 1,000kWh/m2).
