May 05, 2021 • (TNS) Pittsburg has hopped aboard a preliminary plan calling for a transit system that uses driverless electric cars to shuttle passengers to and from Bay Area BART, bus and Amtrak stations in East Contra Costa County.
The City Council on Monday unanimously agreed to support a public-private partnership model allowing Glydways Inc. to build a multimillion-dollar micro transit network that would complement current bus and rail services in the region and be fully operational by 2030. Brentwood, Oakley, Tri-Delta Transit and the Contra Costa County Transportation Authority have also agreed to support the project.
