From Sylvia Plummer, September 5, 2014
This message is from Rick Risemberg, GRID Logistics Inc:
As many of you know, I have spent the last four years
working working with a diverse team of innovators on an
advanced harbor freight handling project, one 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
streets, 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 would provide a good
return on their investments, and so let us move towards
actual design and construction. Details on how the grant
would help, and on GRID itself, are on our project page at
LA2050's GOOD.is website, 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.)
