Central Transit Project
Transcending CA's California's High Speed Rail

This required a lot of planning and innovation.
The project sprouted as a question in the mid-1990s when the rail-line from Fresno through Clovis was converted from an abandoned railroad into a jogging path. The train company had gone out of business decades ago and the line was abandoned. A question arose about the abandoned rail Rights-of-Ways. With more urban growth, the greater its need for an alternative mode of transportation; like light-rail.
Where does a project like this begin? Since that rail-line was once used for transportation, how is the growing metropolitan's transportation demand for a transit system going to be achieved? An answer to meet the growing transportation demand had to be found from another question: "How can this be accomplished without overwhelming costs and bloated tax burden?"
The answer required several years of time, research, financing, planning and innovation.
The Central Transit project integrates a new technology transit system into the area's existing corridors. The project's methodology doesn't replace the automobile, it provides a convenient and quick alternative mode of transportation for Valley residents and visitors. The intent and mission of this project is to improve quality of life for every Valley citizen.
New Technology Transit
This is ultra-light-rail technology. Its technologically advanced computer logistics guidance system allows each passenger to be taken directly to their destination.
