Abstract:Most mid-size and large open-campus universities have courtesy shuttle or bus service as an important mode of transportation around campus and in nearby vicinities. Given on-campus traffic conditions, traffic congestion between classes, the nature of short-distance trips within or around campus, and difficulty with finding parking spaces, automated shuttle service has been recognized as a promising solution to alleviate these problems. Most existing studies on automated shuttles that are based on a physical riding experience rate the overall experience as positive. Other aspects such as willingness to pay for automated shuttles have been investigated in very limited detail and have produced mixed feedback from most survey respondents. This study aimed to add to the growing body of literature on public opinion and acceptance of automated shuttles. A one-week demonstration of an automated shuttle (Coast Autonomous P1) on the University of South Florida-Tampa campus was conducted to elicit respondent feedback on their experience with riding in an automated shuttle.
