Cobb County Pioneers Georgia’s First Autonomous Shuttle Network with $6.6M Federal Grant
Cobb County is set to usher in a new era of transportation with the introduction of the state’s first autonomous shuttle network. Dubbed the Cumberland Autonomous Mobility (CAM) Network, this innovative project has secured a $6.6 million grant through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Low or No Emission Vehicle Program. This groundbreaking initiative will see Cobb County integrating high-tech, environmentally-friendly autonomous shuttles into its existing public transit system, CobbLinc, as confirmed by Cobb County Government’s official announcement. The CAM Network plans to deploy a fleet of eight ADA-accessible autonomous shuttles crafted using American technology, bridging crucial gaps in first- and last-mile connectivity. Cumberland’s business and entertainment district is poised to benefit from this new network, which aims to not only improve mobility but also enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors. “This investment announced today from the Federal Transit Administration marks one of the greatest chapters in our history, making a major component of the Cumberland Sweep a reality,” Executive Director of the Cumberland CID, Kim Menefee told Cobb County Government, enthusing about the future of transit in the community.
