  21. Using Vehicles

  22. Safe Securement

  23. Using Information

  24. SAVs as Solution?!

  25. RERC-APT – Next Generation of SAVs Research on needs and challenges What factors/features would influence older adults and individuals with disabilities to use or avoid SAVs? How are transit agencies preparing for SAV implementation? What operating practices are needed to employ to enable safe SAV use? Help create and evaluate designs for SAVs working with industry partners Develop universal design guidelines that can be applied to overcome community mobility and first/last mile travel challenges for all

  26. Complex Problem • Vehicle Accessibility • Fleet Design (quantity, type) • Street Infrastructure • Connectivity of Users
