The Problem
Lacked a clear, implementable framework to prepare for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) deployment while addressing near-term mobility needs for older adults and transit-dependent residents.
The Solution
A phased CAV readiness framework integrating policy, digital infrastructure, roadway improvements, operational planning, stakeholder engagement, and supporting documents such as ta Concept of Operations, data-sharing architecture, and performance metrics needed to support future AV pilots and long-term mobility-as-a-service integration.
The Outcome
A scalable model for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) readiness and autonomous mobility planning for similar communities across the SCAG region that also addresses near-term mobility needs for older adults and transit-dependent residents.
