Project Summary: Rochester Automated Shuttle Pilot: Med City Mover

The Rochester Automated Shuttle Pilot was a research project that included the 12-month demonstration (August 2021 - August 2022) of two highly automated and electric vehicles to over 3,000 passengers along a fixed route downtown in the City of Rochester. The circular, fixed route connected the Mayo Clinic downtown campus with residential neighborhoods, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, and parking lots to serve the residents and visitors of Rochester. Each shuttle had a 6-person capacity with operating speeds of 12-15 mph.
