I am a recently retired professor in civil engineering (urban
transportation) at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington,
USA. I currently am developing and maintaining a web site, called
Innovative Transportation Technologies (address below) which features only
non-auto, green-type technologies for serving trips within large urban
areas (also between them in a few cases).  Included are technologies for
moving both people and freight, some are operational, some under
development and some are still conceptual. All are either fully or
partially automated and all are powered with electricity.  The main idea
is to find ways to compete effectively with the auto, so as to reduce its
use and negative effects on urban life and to help clean the air and
reduce CO2 emissions. None can do the "whole" job but most can be useful
"family" members.
