LiftLine
An emergency evacuation platform that transforms urban gondola and cable car networks into lifelines during urban disasters, providing real-time escape routing through the labyrinth of elevated transit when ground transportation fails due to earthquakes, floods, or gridlock. Cities like La Paz, Medellín, and ski towns already have the infrastructure—LiftLine makes it accessible for critical evacuations.
The Wow Moment
You're in a high-rise apartment when the earthquake hits, streets are flooded and cars are gridlocked. You open LiftLine and see a glowing blue line weaving through the buildings—up the stairs to the gondola station, across three cable lines, down to safety on high ground. As you step into the first gondola car, you watch the disaster unfolding below while floating above it all, calm and moving steadily toward safety.
