In 2025, Lyft and May Mobility will bring autonomous vehicles (AVs) to Atlanta, partnering to offer driverless Toyota Sienna minivans for rideshare users. This pilot program aims to expand vehicle availability, improve convenience, and address labor shortages in transportation. While operators will initially monitor the rides for safety, the ultimate goal is to phase out human oversight. With a growing number of cities already testing AVs, including Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Miami, Atlanta is set to join this evolving trend in transportation innovation. #AutonomousVehicles #AVTechnology #RideshareInnovation #Lyft #MayMobility #SmartCities #FutureOfTransport #Atlanta #TechInTransport #DriverlessCars https://lnkd.in/eegzEc7i

East Coast cities are reimagining their urban landscapes to prioritize walkability, cycling, and sustainability. Projects like the East Coast Greenway and Transit-Oriented Development are transforming urban spaces, making them safer and more connected while addressing environmental and economic challenges. From New York’s Vision Zero to Boston’s pedestrian-friendly redesigns, these initiatives are setting the stage for healthier, more equitable communities. What does a truly livable city look like to you? #WalkableCities #SustainableUrbanism #PedestrianSafety #CyclingInfrastructure #UrbanPlanning #EastCoastGreenway #TransitOrientedDevelopment #VisionZero #CityPlanning #SmartGrowth https://lnkd.in/ei6aGxRw

Orange County is taking action to improve pedestrian safety and reduce traffic fatalities. Ranked third deadliest for pedestrians in Florida, the county is tackling these stats with the $100M Accelerated Transportation Safety Program (ATSP), championed by Mayor Jerry L. Demings. The program includes new transit options, better street lighting, and improved sidewalks. Additionally, the county has adopted Vision Zero, aiming for zero traffic fatalities. These measures reflect a commitment to safer, more connected communities. #PedestrianSafety #OrangeCounty #VisionZero #SafeStreets #PublicSafety https://lnkd.in/eCqFeqFi

As extreme weather events become more frequent, civil engineers are rethinking the traditional "100-year flood" model. Recent experiences, like Asheville’s historic flooding during Tropical Storm Helene, highlight the limitations of relying on past data alone. NOAA and ASCE are now developing advanced tools, like Atlas 15, to incorporate climate projections and better guide resilient infrastructure design. By adapting flood risk models, communities can be better prepared for tomorrow’s storms. #FloodModeling #ClimateResilience #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #NOAA #ASCE https://lnkd.in/e35CJwQm
