Feedback Requested - Drone Delivery in North Texas

The North Central Texas Council of Governments is participating in a grant led by City of Arlington to test the efficiency and scalability of using autonomous, electric delivery vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while serving residents in need. 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. This project was made possible through a $780,182 grant from the Department of Energy. 

The City of Arlington is seeking feedback on how the community feels about the use of drones and ground robots for delivery. Go to www.arlingtontx.gov/city_hall/departments/transportation/drone_operation_-_flysafe to learn more about the project and provide your feedback!
