[All] LRT by Kinkisharyo-Mitsui

[Robert Milligan]

Sent today to various RTI officials and others.

LRT manufacturing partners, Kinkisharyo-Mitsui  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinkisharyo-Mitsui 
), seem to have more pluses than the rest by far including tailor- 
suited vehicle design (I especially like Seattle's) and local assembly  
(as I have previously suggested we aspire to using the old Budd plant  
on Homer Watson). No matter who we choose, perhaps the UofW's  
Transportation Systems Research Group  (http://www.civil.uwaterloo.ca/transportation/ 
) could be involved in some collaborative manner such as in the  
selection of very innovative LRT system design features?
