Advanced Transit Association

The Advanced Transit Association (ATRA)[1] is a non-profit organisation whose purpose is to encourage the development and deployment of Automated Transit Networks, including personal rapid transit systems. ATRA was formed in 1976[2][3] and in 1988 published a report[4] that became an essential factor in increasing the credibility of the PRT concept.[5]
