Active State Transportation Departments

Florida: Downtown Gainesville will be starting fare-free AV shuttle service in April 2018. The AV shuttle will operate as part of the transit system and it is scheduled to provide servicefor three years. The AV shuttle is a result of a  partnership with the University of Florida and state’s Department of Traffic. (Yes, it's called a Department of Traffic, not transportation, mobility or any other positive term.)

The Sunshine State's latest announced AV shuttle will have a great name: Gainesville Autonomous Transit Shuttle  or GAToRS. I didn't say original; I said great.

Minnesota: EasyMile AV shuttle ttests are beginning on snowy roads and in anticipation of the big Super Bowl rollout for the general public. The tests are being performed at the Minnesota Department of Transportation's MnROAD cold-weather pavement testing facility in Monticello, MN.

Wisconsin: In the Racine County portion of a highway project in the Milwaukee area, a technology firm is advising the state and its partners to include AV lanes. "The state Department of Transportation is now working to include the request in its planning, but doing so doesn’t come without costs." At least $134 million, which would be for "[s]pending for local road improvements, including dedicated all-weather autonomous vehicle lanes." Plus there is the cost of altering the project designs. That's in the tens of millions.
