Orlando, FL
City of Orlando & Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority
The SWAN Shuttle program helps advance Orlando’s Future-Ready efforts and furthers the city’s goals of having a connected community by investing in state-of-the-art technology and offering sustainable transit solutions that are safe, efficient and environmentally friendly.
Beep, the City of Orlando and Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) partnered to deliver the city’s first autonomous shuttle pilot in an urban environment. The autonomous pilot, called SWAN Shuttle (Shuttling With Autonomous Navigation), will provide the city and LYNX data and learnings to guide the city’s transportation strategy on how shared, electric and autonomous vehicles can enhance accessibility, improve the quality of life for residents and ensure the city remains future-ready and sustainable.
Creative Village
Residents, visitors and businesses will have access to the fare-free SWAN Shuttles seven days a week in Creative Village starting on August 20, 2023. The roughly one-mile route will have five stops connecting LYNX Central Station and SunRail to UCF/Valencia Downtown, Luminary Green Park, Electronic Arts (EA), and Parramore and Creative Village residents and businesses. The shuttles will operate in the existing bus lane dedicated to the LYMMO Orange line in the early-afternoon and evening from 10:00am to 2:00pm and 6:30pm to 10:30pm.
At each of the project locations, Beep leverages its experience in safely testing and monitoring autonomous mobility networks while gathering operational data and insights on shuttle operations and rider perceptions.
