Are you ready for the PATH@40 Symposium? 🚗💡
We're excited to announce our Workforce and Adapting in a World of AI Panel with Tammy Meehan, The PLUM Catalyst LLC, Michael Flocchini, AC Transit, Henriette Cornet - PhD, Urban Innovate, Lindy Johnson, Contra Costa Transportation Authority, Jamaine Gibson, Amalgamated Transit Union - Intl. Office
This panel will cover the changing face of transportation employment and how AI is impacting how current and future jobs are performed.
Three things are happening at once: The driverless bus is the oldest of them. PATH worked on it with AC Transit at the field station decades ago, and it is still the one nobody agrees on. AI is already inside the agency, recutting runs, predicting which bus breaks next, answering riders. And autonomy is showing up as a contract, where an agency buys AV service for paratransit and thin routes instead of automating its own fleet.
All three change the work. An operator, a union, and a funding agency will talk about what is really being adopted, what happens to the jobs, and what an agency gives up when the service runs on someone else's software.
The conversation comes at an important moment for autonomous transportation in California, as regulators, researchers, and industry work to evaluate current and future workforce needs.
