Dear {First Name}, the ATN world is full of new and emerging suppliers and projects (see ATN Projects Worldwide below). ATRA is involved in further updating the Automated People Mover Standards, keeping everyone updated on the latest news and ATN-related conferences. Now is a good time for you to join or renew your membership.
Due to unforeseen circumstances the envisionRide Podcar City Conference, planned for Lisbon in April, is being relocated and postponed. It is hoped to have it in late 2023 in the U.S. in a location with significant ATN interest. Podcar City Conferences are an important way for people interested in ATN to learn more about the technology, suppliers and projects as well as to meet and exchange views with others with similar interests.
As always, enjoy reading!
Best regards,
Peter Muller, ATRA President
