SUMMARY
On January 19, 2017, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) designated 10 pilot sites as approved proving grounds to encourage the testing of autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies. The City of Chula Vista, in partnership with the San Diego Associations of Governments (SANDAG) and the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), was selected as one of the 10 approved AV proving grounds in the nation. Following the USDOT designation, on June 13, 2017, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the City's support for the research and development of an AV proving ground in the City of Chula Vista. As the three partners continue their committed efforts to establish a successful proving ground, the partners now wish to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to memorialize and clearly define each other's' roles and responsibilities in the San Diego Regional Proving Ground (RPG or PROJECT).
