Preparations Begin for Multimodal Delivery Pilot in September✅
The City ’ s pilot program , designed to test the efficiency and scalability of using autonomous , electric delivery vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while serving residents in need , is funded with the help of a $ 780,182 U . S . Department of Energy grant . The goal of this two-year study is to test and evaluate the use of no-emission or low-emission uncrewed aircraft and four-wheeled robots that are smaller than cars to deliver essential food items to individuals who are mobility challenged , historically disadvantaged , or lack a reliable means of transportation . On May 8th , 2024 , the City hosted a Multimodal Delivery Showcase to demonstrate autonomous ground robots and uncrewed aircraft systems that will be used to test the delivery of nonperishable food to Arlington residents . Residents were encouraged to provide feedback through a survey and meet with the project team to learn about the technology . ( Continued on next page .)
