Multimodal/Drone Delivery Demonstration to Disadvantaged Communities and Mobility Challenged Populations

The objective of the project is to test and evaluate delivering supplies to mobility-impaired, historically disadvantaged, or individuals without reliable means of transportation using low- or zero-emission autonomous transportation modes. The Recipient will partner with a local food bank to utilize “A/B” testing – measuring the number of emissions from current delivery operations against the use of a multimodal low or zero-emissions solution. It is anticipated the use of this multimodal system, once scaled, will reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide overall efficiencies to the delivery system and the transportation system in the project area.
