The Las Vegas Monorail: A Unique Rapid Transit Project for a Unique City
Publication: Automated People Movers: Moving Through the Millennium
Abstract
The Las Vegas Monorail system is the nation's first fully automated, line haul, state-of-the-art, urban monorail rapid transit system. It also is the nation's first modern-era urban rapid transit system to be funded without public tax revenues, and it is one of very few rapid transit projects in the world being implemented on a complete design/build/operate/maintain/finance, or, "Super Turnkey' basis. This paper summarizes how this remarkably unique project is becoming a reality, and briefly describes the project and its advanced technology.
