The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $3,941,666 Cooperative Agreement to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086). The objective of this 1-year project is to develop, deploy, and evaluate a Multi-Level Connected and Automated Transit System (M-CATS) to revolutionize fixed-route and schedule-based transit operations with adaptive mobility services. This is intended to increase ridership, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance equitable accessibility for low-income healthcare workers and patients. MIT, a world-class private research university, will leverage its expertise in advanced technologies to deliver this innovative transit system solution.
