Broken Links at North American ULTra PRT Website

Monday, the day I learned Tim Walz did not approve a $25 million earmark for a PRT "research" facility in Winona, PRT evangelist Steve Raney posted this message on the Transport Innovator's forum:

ultraprt.com content has moved to ultraprt.net atsltd.co.uk content will soon move to ultraprt.com. We are attempting to support some of the old ultraprt.com pages on the new ultraprt.com so that web sites that link to us won't get too broken. This will all take some time and some links will break. Sorry for the inconvenience.


This change effectively scrubs the ultraprt.com site of web pages describing PRT proposals in Minnesota - web pages apparently created by Steve Raney. Raney came to Rochester, Minnesota late last year to pitch ULTra at an MnDOT symposium.

The domain ultraprt.net was apparently registered recently - no mention of ownership:

Registered through: WebDomains4u.com

Who knows why there are now 3 websites for a company with a product that's still under wraps... my guess is this means ATS ULTra has given up selling their glorified golf carts in Minnesota.
