Hydrofoils for Lake Taho, BRT in Salt Lake, and Santa in Phoenix

from Transit Unplugged Weekly News Minute with Julie Gates

It can be a two-hour slog to drive by car around California and Nevada’s Lake Tahoe. But a proposed flying electric ferry, the first of its kind in the US, could take 30 passengers across the lake in under 30 minutes. The ferry will use hydrofoil technology to lift the hull above the waves, and the vision is to implement the service at the end of 2025.  Source: KTVUUtah Transit Authority has been awarded $63M for a new bus rapid transit line in Salt Lake County, thanks to the Federal Transit Administration. The seven-mile, 15-station line will connect to commuter rail and light rail service. Source: FTAAnd for its 8th year, Valley Metro in Phoenix delivered its popular Mesa Santa Express train ride, transporting kiddos on a special light rail car while singing carols, eating cookies, and meeting Santa.  Source: Mesa Santa Express
