Statement from Aerial Rapid Transit Technologies

SEPTEMBER 26, 2018

“Aerial Rapid Transit Technologies (ARTT) marked another milestone on Sept. 26 when we submitted our response to Metro’s Request for Information, which provides additional detail on ARTT’s plans to finance, design, build, operate, and maintain an aerial rapid transit system between Union Station and Dodger Stadium.

ARTT first submitted its Unsolicited Proposal to the Office of Extraordinary Innovation in April 2018. In June, we were pleased to receive confirmation that Metro had accepted that proposal and invited us to move onto the second phase of the project. We received the transit agency’s Request for Information in August.

 We look forward to continuing to advance this project and work with Metro as a partner to demonstrate that innovative, clean energy, sustainable, privately-funded transportation can be made available to Los Angeles in harmony with publicly funded infrastructure.”
