Greer Johnson Gillis, Senior Vice President of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA), joined us on the MOVE America sofa to share her insights on mass transportation and the innovative ways in which the JTA is delivering seamless, accessible mobility solutions to the communities of Northeast Florida.
During our discussion, we explored how the JTA is leading the charge in autonomous mobility, building a public transportation network that leverages technology to meet the tangible needs of its riders. We delved into the key benefits of autonomous mobility within public transit and examined how the JTA serves as a model and roadmap for successful large-scale deployment.
“We are the first public transportation agency in our nation to actually deliver, deploy, and launch a public transportation autonomous drive service in revenue operation.”
Greer reflected on how the industry has evolved throughout her storied career and emphasized the importance of inclusivity and representation within the mobility sector. She also shared insights into her legacy as a White House Champion of Change and her ongoing advocacy for sustainability.
Greer concluded by offering an exclusive look at how the JTA is placing sustainability at the heart of its innovation strategy, including details about Florida’s ambitious solar microgrid initiative.
