The study has focused on the feasibility and desirability of introducing emission-limited, length-limited vehicles, within a rental-fleet context called The Minicar Transit System, into central parts of metropolitan areas. The test case, upon which these concepts were based, is designed for the Philadelphia Central Business District. The system includes a specially designed vehicle, unique parking and handling facilities, and full exploitation of state of the art technologies for cost reduction and system worthiness. It promises the user the immediate and direct benefit of lower cost when compared to the use of standard automobiles as well as improved convenience. It promises society an increase in street capacity and decreased pollution in direct proportion to the number of standard cars eliminated from central-city operation with the substitution of Minicars.
