National Framework for Regional Vehicle
Connectivity and Automation Planning
Purpose
ProvideaframeworkandtoolasMPOs:• Incorporatevehicleconnectivityandautomationintotheirmetropolitantransportationplanningprocessandworktoguideitsdeploymenttohelpmeetregionaltransportationneedsandgoals.
• Explorethepotentialimpactsofvehicleconnectivityandautomationandtheirimplicationsforthetransportationsystem,itsusers,andtheconceptofmobility
ImportanceoftheMPO:• 80.7%oftheU.S.populationisurban• ~90%oftheU.S.GDPisgeneratedwithinmetropolitanareas
• Shapethetransportationsystem• Maintainsafetyandequity• Movepeopleandgoodsregardlessofmodechoice
• Buildrelationships• Guidehowemergingtechnologycanhelpmeetregionaltransportationneedsandgoals
