Our origins were in the Santa Cruz Citizens for Personal Rapid Transit ( CPRT ) group, started by a retired physician in the mid 1990s. With a diverse membership, we have neither partisan nor commercial interests. We like to think that our first loyalty is to our community and to our quality of life that must be preserved for succeeding generations

Reed Searle is the chairman of Santa Cruz PRT, Inc. Reed is a retired lawyer with  long-term interest and activity in  environmental issues. He has said that he wants to preserve and maintain the small-town ambiance of Santa Cruz and to reduce sprawl and automobile congestion. 

Our Treasurer, Gunter Vorlop, is the son inlaw of the late CPRT-SC founder Dr. David Walworth.

There are about 25 other members of our association.   One member is a former City Council person, another  an electronic engineer, yet another a solar power expert. We have school- teachers, fire-fighters, and lots of others.  We always welcome new members, especially from any areas of interest that do not yet have members in our group.

We usually meet on the fourth Sunday of each month, usually at 10:00 AM.

Please email or phone for the next confirmed meeting date, time, and location.
