Editing EPCOT (concept) (section)

===Transportation===
{{See also|Monorail|WEDway}}
The city would be connected to the other points in Disney World with a main line of transportation—the monorail.<ref name="florida film" /> Walt Disney introduced the [[Disneyland Monorail System|Disneyland Monorail]] in 1959. The monorail would cut through the center of the city, connecting EPCOT with the northern and southern points of the Disney World property.<ref name="florida film" />

Internal transportation would be provided by a new Disney transportation concept, the [[WEDway|WED way]] [[PeopleMover (Disneyland)|People Mover]]. The system uses motors located between the tracks to propel vehicles along a pair of steel rails. People Mover cars would transport residents from the metropolitan center to the outer residential areas. The People Mover concept was first demonstrated at Disneyland's [[Tomorrowland (Disney Parks)|Tomorrowland]] in 1967. The People Mover was also installed at the Magic Kingdom as the WED Way People Mover in 1975.

Because of these two modes of transportation, residents of EPCOT would not need cars. If a resident-owned a car, it would be used "only for weekend pleasure trips."<ref name="florida film" /> The streets for cars would be kept separate from the main pedestrian areas. The main roads for both cars and supply trucks would travel underneath the city core, eliminating the risk of pedestrian accidents. This was also based on the concept that Walt Disney devised for Disneyland. He did not want his guests to see behind-the-scenes activity, such as supply trucks delivering goods to the city. Like the [[Magic Kingdom]] in [[Walt Disney World]], all supplies are discreetly delivered via tunnels.

The two systems, the monorail, and People Mover, would come together at the EPCOT Transportation Lobby. The Transportation Lobby would be located at ground level, above the busy automobile/truck roads. From the Lobby, a passenger riding the monorail from the Magic Kingdom Park to their home would disembark the monorail and transfer to the appropriate People Mover station.

Beyond EPCOT, the Airport of Tomorrow, situated opposite the Main Entrance, was planned to connect to the park via a monorail station.

The planned airport would have had a general aviation area with an executive terminal, and another for regional passenger travel with a large terminal building.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.airfieldsfreeman.com/FL/Airfields_FL_OrlandoSW.htm|url-status=live|title=Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields: Florida, Southwestern Orlando area|website=[[Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240308061938/http://www.airfields-freeman.com/FL/Airfields_FL_OrlandoSW.htm|archive-date=2024-03-08}}</ref> Plans identified the airport in 1966 but were not present in the revised plans in the later 1970s.
