Transfer proven automated shuttle technology to full-size buses while creating a market for vendors to cost-effectively produce automated buses through a joint procurement of buses by the Consortium’s member agencies
1
Technology Assessment
AECOM will continue to invest in a technology assessment of automated transit technologies to better assess the industry, market trends, and technology.
2
Automated Bus Deployment Program
AECOM will act as the Program Manager to define, procure, deploy and evaluate emerging automated transit technology.
3
A Consortium of Transit Agencies
Multiple transit agencies will join the program to jointly procure automated, full-size, full-speed, and accessible buses.
4
Technology Deployment in Multiple Pilot Projects
If feasible, the Consortium will deploy the vehicles in a variety of environments and share lessons learned for future technology planning.
