Review of Scoping Results

Safety:
- Safety for passengers
- Pedestrian/bike/vulnerable user implications
Pilot Opportunities:
- Early deployment of shuttles
Integrating AV’s into Transit System:
- Identify how AVs can strengthen and enhance
public transit/first and last mile solutions
- Integrating first mile, last mile connections
- Small public transit, serving 10 people or fewer
- Mobility hubs
- Coordination with TNCs to reduce competition
- Technical infrastructure for coordination
- Ensure fixed-route transit survives where it is most
efficient
Increasing Passenger Throughput:
- Rider recognition by AV transit
- Prioritize high occupancy trips
- Dedicated space needed for transit
Equity Considerations:
- Universal mobility/building in access for all
- Equity—how to improve service based on data
- Unlicensed/undocumented people will need tech to
participate in mobility as a service
- Equitable service—rates charged, population served,
locations served
- Rural and small dollar public transit needs
- On-demand transit in rural areas
Driver-Assistance Technology and Labor Considerations:
- ADAS applicability to public transit
- Effect on workforce, will labor require presence of
worker even if automated?

Possible Final Product Goals
- Investigate and document any existing national guidance or national
initiatives to develop guidance
- Identify what other states are doing related to this topic
- Develop short-term and long-term recommendations for public transit to
prepare for AVs
- Identify potential funding implications of recommendations
- Others?
