NoCo firm to present plan for hyperloop test track in Springs
FORT COLLINS — Loop Global Inc. is meeting with the Colorado Springs public on Aug. 16 to present its plan to build a tube transportation, or hyperloop, test track in the area.
The test track would be used not only to test tube-transportation technology, but would be a commercial operation by providing tours to the government officials, investors and the public, said D. Worthington, one of the cofounders of Fort Collins’ Loop Global.
The track would be available by 2021, Worthington said, and the company is presenting in Colorado Springs following a letter of support from the city expressing interest in hyperloop technology. Worthington added that the company is also exploring test sites in other states and internationally.

Exploring & expressing grief
Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.
Loop Global’s design for tube transportation, which features vehicles moving magnetically through tubes at speeds between 100 to 4,000 miles per hour, are individual cars that can seat one to six people, rather than using bus-like vehicles.
“We build cars 2.0,” Worthington said. “It’s relaxed and personal, and clearly cars have won the transportation market.”
