LIVEFreight Underground in MYLA2050
GRID proposes a Demand-Risk Public Private Partnership whereby private investment replaces traditional tax-payer backed securities to build large scale transportation infrastructure. We connect port containers with inland freight distribution hubs comprising of a 3-pronged systems platform; 1)SuperDock, a new platform to load and unload container ships, 2)Freight Pipeline; an underground container shuttle under existing freeways connecting four counties, and 3)last mile truck feeder terminals.

Please explain how you will evaluate your work.
GRID is an infrastructure project proposal. The first step is to evaluate the project. An example is to perform a project feasibility study, an environmental impact report, simulations and scoping. Once the data is collected, stakeholders will determine if the innovations are worthy of development. If so, outreach to the communities the infrastructure is mainly constructed will be an important and early "evaluating body" in the process. These studies will come with specific milestones to measure the increasing or decreasing feasibility of the projects. Evaluation is best described as a public private partnership decision. The public sector will provide entitlement as the project meets or exceeds milestones. The private sector will be evaluating other factors like build-ability and profitability. It is our mission to connect with champions who will lead this effort. They will come from communities of business, labor, environment, elected leaders, and everyday people.
