CTS Webinar: Key Insights from the goMARTI Autonomous Shuttle Pilot
This webinar offered an in-depth exploration of the groundbreaking goMARTI shuttle pilot, one of the first autonomous, rural, on-demand public transportation initiatives in the United States. The project was launched two years ago in Grand Rapids, MN, with funding from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and a broad range of public, private, and academic partners.
This webinar reviewed key lessons learned, including the challenges and opportunities of integrating autonomous vehicles as a rural mobility option, passenger safety and accessibility considerations, and real-world data on ridership and performance. Project leaders and experts shared their experiences, discussed how these findings can shape the future of autonomous transportation solutions, and talked about what’s next for this project.
