| Abstract | Although transit bus automation could offer many potential benefits to State and local transit agencies, there may be regulatory, policy, or institutional barriers that could discourage or prevent the deployment of these emerging technologies. This report documents current or anticipated non-technical challenges that State or local transit agencies may experience when implementing transit bus automation projects, summarizes the current State-level regulatory framework for testing and operating automated vehicles, and provides recommendations for mitigating identified challenges and barriers. |
