A method and apparatus for autonomous vehicle routing and navigation using passenger docking locations are disclosed. Autonomous vehicle routing and navigation using passenger docking locations may include an autonomous vehicle identifying vehicle transportation network information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination, wherein identifying the vehicle transportation network information includes identifying the vehicle transportation network information such that it includes docking location information representing a plurality of docking locations, wherein each docking location corresponds with a respective location in the vehicle transportation network. The autonomous vehicle may determine a target docking location for the primary destination based on the vehicle transportation network information, identify a route from an origin to the target docking location in the vehicle transportation network using the vehicle transportation network information, and travel from the origin to the target docking location using the route.
