Unirail, the “next generation” public transportation system, is an overhead, safe, suspended “dual track” monorail-type system.

   It is the public solution for America’s urban, rural and cross-country transportation needs  

   It is classified as a SAFEGE type design passed to Unirail from General Electric in the late 1990s. SAFEGE has been operating successfully since 1970.

   It is proven to be economical, reliable, environmentally sound and safe

   Primarily powered by electricity, it is conceivable that in some areas of the country, (especially in the West) Unirail will be powered by solar energy.

   SAFEGE “dual track” systems developed in Germany and Japan have safely carried over 650 million passengers for 3.9 billion passenger miles, equivalent to more than 16,000 trips to the moon.

   The suspended overhead systems negates most civil and grade crossings issues.

   Unirail received 21 international requests for proposals in 2005, and multiple national projects are emerging pending Unirail’s testing and licensing.

  Unirail costs-to-build per mile is 30 percent of conventual light rail;

• maintenance and safety costs are 20 percent of comparable systems;
• Unirail operates with 40 percent less electric power usage;
• Unirail can share existing railroad and highway easements.

      Unirail recommends fares at Amtrak levels (currently about 20 cents per mile).

       Unirail’s technology not only saves energy, the system also diminishes impact to existing civil infrastructures, house and other housing structures. Unirail can utilize existing right-of-ways, share railroad and highway corridors, and reduce property procurement and demolition.

      Unirail cars are being designed by Boeing, drive motors by GE, steel track and towers USA fabricated and the system is a quick build, off the shelf system, and depending on  passenger traffic, project costs can be quickly repaid, rapidly becoming a profit generating transit system.

      Unirail utilizes the “third dimension” – airspace over congested areas, along super highways and expressways; high-strength supporting pylons occupy minimal ground space; the system is versatile and can negotiate turns in a minimum of space; electrically powered bogles running within the enclosed beam on pneumatic tires provide safe, quiet, comfortable transportation; there are no smog-producing exhaust fumes.

      Unirail offers an esthetically pleasing structure, promoting a community’s economy by combing this transit mode with others to help provide a balanced transportation network.

   Over and above some of the dominant Unirail benefits, which include using rubber tires that result in almost the complete elimination of noise, and the aesthetic benefits  in the simplified visual impact or imprint on the landscape and skyline, are the significant benefits in reduced operating costs, the material weight and initial construction costs. Even more important for key urbanized areas is the virtual elimination of 24-hour weather impact sensitive to mass transit.

   The construction time to fabricate, erect, test and place Unirail’s AirRail in full operation is a shorter time than the construction of new road, rail lines, or new airports.

      Unirail can traverse mountainous, arid and urban areas delicately and deliberately.
