What are Shared Electric Autonomous Vehicles? A fleet of SAEVs operated by one provider, and utilized by riders with mobile devices. AVs can cost 2-3x a normal vehicle to manufacture. What will happen to the members of our community employed in transportation? 6
What will be the impact? Every citizen will be impacted by how the city manages this upcoming shift. Impact of Disruption 7 Speed of Disruption

What does this future look like? No loss of revenue as change occurs Improved city center economic development Population buy-in as AVs prove themselves Proper assignation of costs of road usage and liabilities. 12
Conclusion Shifting Infrastructure demands Redesign spaces for fewer parking spaces, but more functionality Shift funding from gas, parking, and tickets to fleet operators through licensing Funding Issues Unclear legal ramifications and public perception Maintain transparency with public; engage other governments (State and Federal) as possible. 13
