Province Requests Public Engagement on Automated Vehicle Technology Testing on Public Roads
Last year, the Province of Manitoba introduced legislation that will allow the testing of automated vehicles on provincial roads. Testing on public roads will be permitted through a new regulation and a technology testing permit issued by the Minister of Infrastructure with eligibility requirements and conditions to maintain road safety. In addition to consulting with stakeholders, the Province is seeking public feedback on vehicle technology testing on Manitoba roads via their online portal. To review the engagement presentation and take part in the survey, please see EngageMB's website. Feedback will be accepted until Tuesday, September 14, 2021.
