Nation-wide, many federal autonomous vehicle pilot related grants have been awarded to different agencies and institutions. In this webinar we will hear from the Federal Transit Administration about the current status of these projects and learn from agencies and institutions about how they are pursuing their accessible, autonomous vehicle pilots. Moderator: William Tsuei, Director of […]
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), is preparing to launch the first American pilot of full-sized, autonomous buses. In early 2023 CTDOT will deploy four autonomous and electric buses on CTfastrak, a 9.4-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line linking Hartford and New Britain. Visionaries behind the project will describe projected passenger benefits from autonomous bus […]
Hurricane Maria left devastating effects on Puerto Rico, its people, and its economy when the storm struck in 2017.
