AVs Need Roads: Roads Need Agencies
In California – “Metropolitan planning organizations and regional transportation planning agencies are responsible for planning, coordinating, and financing local transportation projects. Regional agencies and local governments operate and maintain approximately
303,700 lane miles (140,600 centerline miles) of public roads and streets.”

Connectivity is Key
• Autonomy is great…
• Autonomy won’t fix external human error
• Connectivity can address human error/variability/chaos
• This will be critical during transition
o Not just for moving objects…

Finishing the Story: A Revolution!“The League was founded as the League of American Wheelmen in 1880. Bicyclists, known then as ‘wheelmen,’ were challenged by rutted roads of gravel and dirt and faced antagonism from horsemen, wagon drivers, and pedestrians.
In an effort to improve riding conditions so they might better enjoy their newly discovered sport, more than 100,000 cyclists from across the United States joined the
League to advocate for paved roads.
The success of the League in its first advocacy efforts ultimately led to our national highway system.”
