Driverless Shuttle Demonstrated at New Orleans Convention Center
NEW ORLEANS – Transdev, the public transit management company that manages operations for the Regional Transit Authority (RTA), demonstrated its self-driving shuttle, the EZ10, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center today. Mayor Mitch Landrieu gave remarks, along with representatives from the RTA, Easy Mile and Transdev.
The EZ10 is a driverless and electric shuttle that can transport up to 12 people. The shuttle has no steering wheel and neither a dedicated front nor back. The EZ10 operates autonomously following a virtual line mapped and loaded in the software of the vehicle.
The vehicle is on a nation-wide tour to show community leaders and citizens across the United States what an automated transit ride would look and feel like. Members of the public were also invited to ride the vehicle, which was programmed to travel down Convention Center Blvd. from Julia Street down to John Churchill Chase Street.

-1- LOUISIANA COMPLIANCE QUESTIONNAIRE (For Audit Engagements of Governments) Dear Chief Executive Officer:
Attached is the Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire that is to be completed by you or your staff. This questionnaire is a required part of a financial audit of Louisiana state and local government and quasi-public agencies. Upon completion, the questionnaire must be presented to and adopted by the governing body, if any, of your organization by means of a formal resolution in an open meeting. Independently elected officials should sign the document, in lieu of such a resolution.
The completed questionnaire and a copy of the adoption instrument, if appropriate, must be given to the auditor at the beginning of the audit. The auditor will, during the course of his regular audit, test the accuracy of the responses in the questionnaire. It is not necessary to return the questionnaire to my office.
Certain portions of the questionnaire may not be applicable to your organization, especially those related to federal financial assistance. In such cases, it is appropriate to mark the representation "not applicable." However, you must respond to each applicable representation. A 'yes' answer indicates that you have complied with the applicable law or regulation. A 'no' answer to any representation indicates a possible violation of law or regulation and, as such, should be fully explained. These matters will be reviewed by the auditor during the course of his examination. Please feel free to attach a further explanation of any representation.
Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daryl G. Purpera, CPA, CFE Louisiana Legislative Auditor
