Three Phases to minimize risk to town and ramp crews and manufacturing base:

    1. Kitty Hawk Network (Maintenance Facility). This is an approximately 170 meter network that will be certified to South Carolina standards.

    1. Expand the network from Maintenance Facility to the GSP desired nodes (manufacturing facilities, inland port, parking, etc...)

    1. Expand the network from GSP to Greenville, Spartanburg, etc...

Required Action:

    1. Use known and highly effective exiting regulation:

        1. Rights of way based on existing laws for communications and power networks.

        1. The Franchise Agreement is adapted from the franchise agreements used by cities for communications and power networks. For capital to invest, cities must make known regulatory costs and delays. This agreement is fundable and based on well-used practices put in place since The Communications Act of 1934 established a uniform maximum of 5% for the use of public Rights of Way.

        1. The 5X5 Standard MOU is a one-page summary of the Franchise Agreement. It makes it easy for non-technical people to grasp the regulatory requirements and for JPods to risk our capital to begin efforts.

    1. To create the jobs, train crews, build the manufacturing base, and deploy networks to meet a need in 2026 is an enormous task that must be started immediately to be effective by 2026.

    1. Understand current demand (use by highway and map)

Key features of the JPods networks:

    • Cleaner, 100% solar-powered. Support walking and biking.

    • Faster. Non-stop from origin to destination is quicker that cars most of the time. 24x7 availability eliminates waiting for Mass Transit.

    • Safer. Grade-separated preempt crashes. Compliance with theme park standards requires a 3,000 times safety improvement. Preempt risks of crimes by not riding with strangers or waiting at bus stops.

    • Affordable. Equity provided by on-demand mobility regardless of age, ability, or wealth. No requirement to borrow $30,000 to buy a car.

    • No cost of deployment or operation is carried by the taxpayers. JPods networks are privately funded.

    • New source of revenue for governments from the 5% of gross transportation revenues paid for non-exclusive used of airspace over public Rights of Way.

Features for foreign visitors:

    • Service in people's own native language:

        • Your phone app and/or the on-board computer is your interface, in your own language.

        • Phone and computer support is available in your own language.

    • Ability to pay through your phone in your own currency.

    • Eliminating risks of travel during celebrations from distraction or impairment.

AI Assessment

Features for very large events:

    • Mass of vehicles is known. So explosives cannot be hidden by the mass of a truck.

    • Camera monitor risky situations.

    • Vehicles can be re-routed to a secure area if there is an appropriate cause for concern.

    • False-risk events cause those affected minimum unhappiness.

    • Sensor can monitor for dangerous substances.

    • Capacity can surge to accommodate extraordinary demand.
