Lege Trend. Sunshine State Republicans. Alternative Transportation Authority to Fund Autonomous Vehicles. How it works:

Posted byadmin

The Bills,  HB535  and SB 1200, would:

  • Create the Statewide Alternative Transportation Authority
  • Repurpose an existing $60 million in rail funds to fund alternative transportation projects
  • The “alternative” projects would include:
    •  “Bus Rapid Transit”
    • Autonomous vehicles
    • Focus on urban areas like Tampa Bay area & Miami
  • For local governments to get to the satte alternative transportation dollars, counties and cities would have to match funds
