The pilot program, using an autonomous shuttle, will capture ridership adoption behaviors and patterns to determine what solutions are best.
Since launching January 2019, the service has provided more than 70,000 rides and exceeded its key goals.
Two-thirds of people who took advantage of inexpensive rideshare trips in a pilot project used them to travel to or near bus stops.
The pilot is the cornerstone of LAVTA’s mobility lab in nearby Dublin, Calif.
The new lab will test dozens of new features that make subway stations more accessible for riders of all abilities.
OMNY lets riders pay their fare and enter the subway or bus by tapping contactless cards, smartphones, and wearable devices.
GoMed, slated to begin service late next year, will demonstrate the ability to apply automated technology in a complex urban setting.
The trial — to begin during 2019 — will include five autonomous single-deck Alexander-Dennis vehicles.
Featuring the work of five local artists along the corridor, the pilot aims to bring more efficient and reliable service.
In a partnership with LAVTA, the pilot is the first operation of a SAVs on a public road by a transit agency in the state of California.
