This report documents the evaluation of Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority's (Valley Metro) pilot that used Waymo autonomous vehicles (AVs) as certified vehicles for Valley Metro’s RideChoice program, a subsidized curb-to-curb individual mobility service (via taxi or ride-hailing services) for paratransit-certified people under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and for older adults age 65 and over living in Greater Phoenix. FTA funded the evaluation as a part of FTA’s Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox program.  The project was one of the Strategic Partnerships outlined in FTA’s Strategic Transit Automation Research (STAR) Plan.
