Automated Vehicles (AV) are rapidly emerging as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize various sectors of transportation. From personal vehicles to shuttles, transit, freight, delivery and more, automation will reshape mobility in San Mateo County. Recognizing this potential, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) and City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) are working together to develop the San Mateo Countywide Automated Vehicles Strategic Plan.
