May Mobility announced it has partnered with Stantec to create transportation solutions through AV microtransit.

The companies will collaborate on infrastructure developments and formally pursue opportunities to implement AVs across a range of commercial and municipal locations globally, according to May Mobility's news release.

“Stantec shares our vision of changing the global landscape to better benefit people and the environments we live in,” said Manik Dhar, CCO for May Mobility. “Working together, we can create and implement innovative AV solutions for different communities and deliver turnkey AV deployments that are optimized for each location.
