The February BAC meeting generated several questions about enforcement.

Autonomous Vehicle Administrative Rule (6:40-7:10)
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is updating TRN-14.34 to modify requirements for testing automated vehicles (AVs) and to enable their deployment in Portland. The rule was adopted in 2018 to regulate the testing of AVs and to limit their commercial deployment on Portland streets. Since then, AVs have become widespread and are active in over a dozen U.S. cities, with companies announcing plans to deploy 20 more US cities in the coming year. PBOT is proposing updates to TRN-14.34 designed to create a framework that enables the city to properly manage testing and commercial operation of for-hire AVs. City staff will provide an overview of proposed changed in advance of the public comment period for this Admin rule.
