Latest PAS Report: Planning for Autonomous Mobility
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are coming soon to a roadway near you. Is your community ready for them?
AVs are poised to disrupt the built environment and planning practices just as the automobile did more than a century ago. Planning for Autonomous Mobility is a call to action for planners to develop policy solutions and infrastructure investments that ensure an attractive, people-friendly, equitable, and safe AV future.
APA members get free access to the report and all Planning Advisory Service publications. Download your copy today, and be sure to check out APA's full suite of resources on AVs.
