June

NJTPA’s Autonomous Vehicle Symposium -- an in-person event -- will explore how future advances in Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology will be integrated with the transportation system and what impacts there will be for towns and cities. The insights from this event will be used to support the development of a background paper on autonomous vehicles for use in preparing the next Long Range Transportation Plan. The symposium will feature two panels: the first will explore modalities and the potential business models of mobility unlocked by AVs; the second will be a discussion about municipal impacts, including development and planning priorities.
