The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) will enter a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) to evaluate and create a roadmap for the potential development of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology for public transportation systems in north central New Mexico.
CTAA’s National Center for Applied Transit Technology (N-CATT) would implement the cooperative study in partnership with the NCRTD, the Santa Fe Trails transit system and Atomic City Transit in Los Alamos, N.M. The significant step marks the first study of its kind in New Mexico to explore innovative AV solutions for public transportation.
