Transforming Transportation: The Electric Car Revolution describes a proposal for a new nationwide all-electric mass transit system called NTS (National Transit Service). NTS uses private electric cars and trucks to provide door-to-door service across town or across the country. NTS will provide a low-cost travel service for freight, business, and personal travel. NTS is designed to provide the same convenient, anytime, travel advantage that owning a car has. It could eventually replace the interstate highway system.
NTS is to be funded by a combination of public and private sources with small investors providing 85% and the government 5%, with the rest coming from a franchising organization. NTS will be built starting with very high traffic corridors on both the east and west coasts, with separate segments linking metro areas. Revenue from high traffic segments will help build an eventual nationwide network larger than the interstate highway system.
The new transportation technology will create:A door-to-door mass transit service
A low-cost and convenient travel service
Extremely safe and fast travel
Weather-proof travel
Solar energy to power electric vehicles as they travel
A nationwide automated roadway solely for electric vehicles


The technology is state of the art and only requires the will to build it. The book will describe:The infrastructure
The electric vehicles
The funding
The passenger usage
Trip examples and comparisons to current travel options
The impact on society


The National Transit Service will change society in many positive ways, creating a world where: Traffic fatalities are few
Owning a car is rare
Airports are freed from the congestion caused by short-haul flights
Weather delays for passengers and freight are non-existent
Traffic delays and congestion will be a thing of the past
All people have the same travel options for work, school, shopping, and leisure
Millions of NTS investors have a new source of retirement income
New travel opportunities currently not possible will be possible
Group or family travel is very low cost
CO2 and other transportation emissions are cut to zero
Commercial Package delivery is low cost, convenient, and secure
Homes no longer need space for a car
Billions of dollars in new tax revenues
Billions of dollars for K-12 education
