Concept
Program Framework
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 75 – 100 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 in PDA and CDA phases.
3
A Consortium of Transit Agencies
Multiple transit agencies would join the program to procure jointly 75-100 automated, full-size, and full-speed buses.
4
Technology Deployment by 2022 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.
