Contra Costa Transportation Authority and Beep Partner to Deliver Autonomous Vehicle Projects in California

Initial Project Launches April 24, 2023 in Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, California

LAKE NONA, Fla., April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Beep Inc., a provider of autonomous shared mobility solutions, today announced a partnership with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). The partnership marks Beep's first West Coast deployment, located at Bishop Ranch in the city of San Ramon, the largest mixed-use business community in Northern California. In 2018, CCTA was the first agency in California to obtain permission by the California Department of Motor Vehicles for a shared autonomous vehicle to travel on public roads in the state.

"Having the opportunity to work with a pioneering transportation authority like CCTA is both an honor and a natural partnership," said Beep CEO Joe Moye. "Our expansion to the West Coast, with a forward-thinking organization that truly understands the power of autonomous mobility testing, is a great step toward supporting public transit and addressing first and last-mile challenges in the state of California. The confidence CCTA is putting into Beep's autonomous solutions further demonstrates our capabilities as a company and our reputation with major transportation authorities. We are thrilled to be working with CCTA, and we look forward to providing a safe and efficient autonomous mobility experience to passengers at Bishop Ranch."

This program provides employees, visitors and residents of Bishop Ranch an opportunity to experience autonomous mobility in Beep's autonomous and electric shuttles. The four-stop route will provide connectivity to the San Ramon Transit Center, City Center and various corporate offices.  

"CCTA is proud of its leadership in autonomous mobility, and we are excited to partner with Beep for their very first project on the West Coast," said CCTA Board Chair Federal Glover. "Beep has shown significant leadership in the autonomous mobility space, which is reflected in successful projects with private communities, public transit authorities and the U.S. National Park Service. I have no doubt this will be a successful collaboration that gives the public a chance to experience how autonomous shuttles can be integrated into our communities."

Beep and CCTA will partner on delivering autonomous mobility at an additional site early next year. Both projects will provide CCTA with valuable insight in developing services with autonomous vehicles that will soon underpin dynamic mobility networks in campuses, communities and city centers throughout the county.
