What does Automation & Innovation do?

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s Automation & Innovation division is focused on advancing the future of public transit through the integration of automated systems and next-generation vehicle technologies. Their core mission centers on modernizing Jacksonville’s transportation infrastructure by acquiring innovative, technologically advanced transit solutions—particularly those involving automated transit vehicles designed to improve efficiency, safety, and accessibility for urban mobility. Strategic priorities include transitioning from conventional fleets to smart, autonomous-capable systems, enhancing operational resilience, and aligning with state-level initiatives for sustainable and technology-driven public transit. Key programs emphasize the deployment of automated transit vehicles (ATVs) that support reduced emissions, optimized routing, and seamless integration with existing transit networks. Procurement patterns indicate a consistent focus on acquiring specialized maritime and transit vehicle systems, with a clear emphasis on complex, engineered solutions requiring advanced manufacturing and systems integration capabilities. Contracts are typically issued as competitive solicitations, often requiring technical proposals demonstrating compliance with federal and state transportation standards, including safety certification, cybersecurity protocols, and system interoperability. The agency’s primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting a strategic alignment with the design and construction of specialized automated transit vessels or land-based vehicles with maritime-grade durability and propulsion systems. While no set-aside preferences are indicated, vendor relationships suggest a preference for firms with proven experience in defense-grade engineering, automation controls, and transit vehicle certification. The agency favors contractors capable of end-to-end system delivery, including testing, validation, and lifecycle support. Organized under the Florida Department of Transportation and based in Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority operates as a regional transit authority with jurisdiction over multimodal infrastructure across Northeast Florida. It utilizes standard state procurement vehicles, including competitive sealed bidding and request for proposals, to acquire mission-critical transit technologies that support long-term mobility innovation.
