This grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is for supporting transit bus automation demonstration projects. A total of up to $6.5 million is available through the Public Transportation Innovation Program. The funding is allocated across two key areas: up to $5 million for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Transit Buses, and up to $1.5 million for Automated Transit Bus Maintenance and Yard Operations. The primary goal is to fund demonstrations that deploy these automation technologies in real-world transit environments. Successful projects will help establish the feasibility of ADAS and automated maintenance use cases, ultimately improving the understanding of their operational impacts and potential for wider adoption within public transportation systems.
