Autonomous shuttles will replace monorail system in Jacksonville, Florida

  • Date: 08/16/2022

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority plans to install 10 miles of automated shuttle service, in part by repurposing a 33-year-old monorail system, and potentially build transit-oriented development around stations in the expanded system for the north Florida city.

The first phase of the project, dubbed the Ultimate Urban Circulator, is underway. JTA contracted with construction management firm Balfour Beatty in January to begin the design of a 3-mile autonomous shuttle line along a busy street in downtown Jacksonville. The initial phase will connect major sports stadiums and entertainment venues along Bay Street with the existing monorail.
