Shared Autonomous Vehicles
Client: Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA)
The SAV Program is part of CCTA’s broader PRESTO initiative to bring connected, electric, and autonomous transportation solutions to communities across Contra Costa County.
A first-mile/last-mile shuttle built for senior communities. Low-speed autonomous shuttles loop through Rossmoor with an attendant aboard, enabling data collection on how AVs integrate into daily life and inform safety standards.
On-demand autonomous shuttles provide wheelchair-accessible rides to medical appointments and other locations. Beyond mobility, this pilot seeks to reduce missed medical visits and boost access to health services.
PRESTO Bishop Ranch delivered the Bay Area’s first public autonomous shuttle service—providing more than 2,500 free rides and proving zero-driver mobility in a real campus environment.
Mapping and testing in controlled environment prior to real-world deployment.
Comprehensive project management and systems engineering support for CCTA’s ADS and PRESTO initiatives, guiding planning, design, testing, and deployment of shared autonomous vehicles.
Integration of SAE Level 4 autonomous shuttles equipped with advanced sensor, radar, and GPS systems—demonstrating safe, connected, and data-driven mobility solutions.
Promoting public understanding and trust in autonomous technology through controlled demonstrations, rigorous safety validation, and transparent community engagement.
Solving first-mile/last-mile challenges with zero-emission, on-demand shuttles that connect residents—including underserved communities—to employment, education, and key destinations.
Launched California’s first autonomous shuttle demonstrations at Bishop Ranch, with continued regional expansions in Rossmoor, Martinez, and San Ramon to advance shared, connected transportation.
