Join the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as they explore new research on how high‑speed buses—potentially traveling 80–140 mph—might operate safely if found feasible on California’s freeway system. This session will share findings on feasibility, safety, roadway design, and the technological innovations needed to support next‑generation high‑speed bus travel.


In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How vehicle dynamics, safety, and roadway design affect maximum feasible bus speeds
  • What infrastructure strategies—like exclusive lanes, V2X connectivity, and automation—could enable higher‑speed operations
  • How high-speed freeway buses could fit into the context of our freeway network
  • What research gaps and future needs Caltrans is preparing to address



Come learn how high‑speed buses could transform long‑distance travel with faster, safer, and more efficient mobility options for Californians.
