PlanetTran, which is committed to leveraging technology to improve the public transportation experience, is a sponsor of the 2006 Emerging Technologies Conference -- an event that brings together innovators and leaders in technological change.
"I have always believed that technology, when used wisely, can be used to improve the quality of people's lives," said R. Seth Riney, president and founder of PlanetTran, LLC. "A year ago at this conference, the first hand-crank $100 laptop was announced -- a locally pioneered product with global reach. We also espouse a 'think globally, act locally' perspective. By bringing environmentally friendly public transportation to consumers and corporate customers, we can contribute in some small way to the health of our planet."
