Complete Trip Pilot Enters Phase Two

Complete Trip Pilot Enters Phase Two

Success! The “Complete Trip Deployment Pilot” in Buffalo, led by ICF International, now has the go ahead to move from Phase I -Concept Development to Phase II – Design and Test. The project, one of several ITS4US Complete Trip pilots funded by the U.S. DOT, seeks to improve mobility and accessibility to, from and within the sprawling Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus through a number of new and advanced technologies. These include electric self-driving shuttles, a trip planning app customized for accessible travel, intersections that use tactile and mobile technologies to improve pedestrian navigation and safety, and outdoor/indoor wayfinding. Open Doors Organization has partnered on the project since 2020 and is excited to see the team’s solutions come to life. Also contributing to the project are the U. of Buffalo IDEA Center and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
