Tony Locricchio, an Hawaii attorney and electric-vehicle proponent, would like to use a LiFT, actually more than one. LiFT is the acronym for Land Integrated Ferry Transporter and it’s just a part of Locricchio’s scheme to put the USA on a more efficient energy trajectory.

The scheme involves using small electric cars called Near Cars. Easy to change battery packs would power them. They could be driven independently at low speeds, or taken longer distances quickly by the LiFT, a sort of mass mini-car transport. In order to meet all transportation needs, communities could share a fleet of these small cars as well as larger SUV-type vehicles.

You can learn more about the proposal by reading the entire document, Time is of the Essence, Changing America’s Transportation and Power Alternatives, A plan for the bailout of US Citizens, online.

To most simply understand the use of LiFT vehicles, the historic use of elevators shows that we have been “lifting” people and freight vertically since the 1850's. Vertical motorized lifts (elevators) have made major impact on our commercial and residential building architecture and urban skylines.Why not LiFT passengers and their vehicles horizontally on freeways via Land Ferries and short vertical lifting of the Personal Commuter Vehicle from the street on and off the Land Ferry...
