Florida DOT to Fund HART's Autonomous Circulator

Florida DOT is providing the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) in Tampa with up to $1 million in state funding for one of the first U.S. projects involving an autonomous vehicle—a circulator service that would connect a public transit center with downtown, operating on a low-speed, controlled-access transitway and complementing local bus service.

The funding, $500,000 for each of the next two years, will allow HART to take the first step in a major technology project and, working with third-party providers, to bring autonomous vehicle technology to the Tampa Bay region. Funding for a third year will depend on the success of the program.

This project is part of HART’s larger vision to bring innovative technology to the region while diversifying its array of service options.

HART plans an industry day later in November coinciding with the fourth Annual Florida Automated Vehicles Summit in downtown Tampa.
