Blocks from the construction site of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s Autonomous Innovation Center, the JTA held events May 13 to update the community on its Ultimate Urban Circulator project.
The U2C is envisioned as a network of autonomous shuttles that will operate Downtown and eventually connect to Riverside, Springfield and San Marco, plus to JTA bus terminals that provide regional mobility. It would eventually replace the Downtown Skyway monorail system.
JTA staff and contractors in the project were on hand at the Main Library for the community events, which offered an overview of the U2C and provided stations where participants could ask questions about the system’s design, vehicles and other technology.
