As many of you know, I have been working on an advanced harbor freight handling project whose ultimate goal is to put as many cargo containers as possible onto railroad trains for transport—including our own patent-pending all-electric underground shuttle train for local deliveries here in Los Angeles. Most of this freight now goes onto trucks that dominate freeways, jam surface street, pollute the air, depress public health, especially in poorer communities, and wreak havoc on the roads. GRID would be a big step to the cleaner, healthier, more human-scaled, and more prosperous world that we all dream of.
GRID is entered in a competition for one of ten LA2050 grants of $100,000 each. This grant would let us concentrate on funding the CSUN feasibility study we need to convince venture capitalists that GRID is a viable program that would provide a good return on their investments. Details on how the grant would help are on the GRID page at LA2050's GOOD.is web page, where you and your friends can vote for GRID to be one of the ten grant winners. Simply go to the URL below and place your vote! It's easy and quick, and could kickstart the future of Southern California by helping GRID move that much closer to becoming a reality. (It does require creating an account, but LA2050 has nothing to sell and will not spam you.)
