Self-driving shuttle service in Grand Rapids restarts Monday

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The city of Grand Rapids and the May Mobility team and say they’ve made several adjustments to these self-driving vehicles in order to keep passengers safe.

City leaders said the shuttles now have a partition or divider that splits the inside of the shuttle into two sections — with the attendant in front and passengers in back.

Shuttle operators say they will also now only allow one person to ride at a time or a group of riders who live in the same home. Everyone will be required to wear a mask, including the attendant.

Vehicles also are using a new UV-C light treatment system to disinfect the cabin between each ride and the halo fogger disinfection system will be used every day to disinfect the whole fleet.
