performs , where it is best utilized and how it can be harnessed to potentially serve the city ’ s transportation needs in the future .”
The Milo shuttles will run approximately one hour before and one hour after major events at AT & T Stadium and Globe Life Park in Arlington . The shuttles are programmed to run along select off-street trails in Richard Greene Linear Park and Robert Cluck Linear Park between the two venues , and will pick up and drop off passengers at designated stops .
The shuttles , which are wheelchair accessible , can hold up to 12 passengers and will drive at speeds averaging 10 to 12 miles per hour . A one-way trip takes about 13 minutes to complete from pick up to drop off .
The trail takes passengers past several works of public art , including the Caleum Moor granite sculptures , as they travel between the designated stops .
“ The timing of this Milo technology could not be better ,” said Rob Matwick , executive vice president of business operations for the Texas Rangers . “ To be able to give our fans the opportunity to experience this innovative technology and give them the convenience to deliver them close to the ballpark or AT & T Stadium is outstanding . We are all about customer service and making memories here at the ballpark .”
Signs along the route instruct walkers , joggers and others sharing the concrete path to keep their distance from the moving shuttles . But even if someone or something were to stray into a Milo ’ s path , the vehicles are outfitted with numerous safety features that help it avoid bumping into bikes , pedestrians or obstacles on the trails .
Although the Milo shuttles will run autonomously , the vehicles will always have a certified operator on-board serving as a customer service ambassador .
