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.
