Beep, in partnership with LYNX and the city of Orlando, has officially launched its autonomous shuttle pilot. The company has thought of everything leading up to this moment, including rider safety and the potential hesitancy of riding autonomous vehicles.
The aim is to better understand rider behavior, reduce illegal parking and pavement riding, and harvest granular data to assist planners and policymakers looking to identify infrastructure gaps.
The Detroit Automated Driving Systems (ADS) Shuttle program will use self-driving vehicle technology to help Detroiters who are age 65 and older or living with disabilities.
The system is designed to allow people using manual or power wheelchairs to independently secure themselves on a bus with just the push of a button.
This one-year pilot program will provide data to help the city and RTA evaluate how zero fares can benefit New Orleans youth.
Transit riders will walk through metal detectors to gain access to Metrolink platforms.
The program provides a free transit pass that helps lower students’ overall educational costs, while giving them a reliable means of transportation to attend school, jobs, medical appointments, and leisure activities.
The free fares continue to be funded through an American Rescue Plan (ARP) grant which will cover the lost fares in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
NCDOT and Beep will test applicable use cases for shared, electric, and autonomous shuttles.
The program is one part of the agency’s multi-layered and reimagined approach to public safety.
