Act Now - Show support for driverless policy framework in Washington D.C.

Supporting a clear driverless policy framework in the District is critical to ensuring that emerging technologies improve public safety, accessibility, and sustainability. By setting thoughtful guardrails now, D.C. can reduce traffic-related injuries, expand mobility options for seniors and residents with disabilities, and advance the city’s climate goals through electrified fleets.

To keep momentum, we encourage the Council and administration to:

Prioritize policy clarity by advancing legislation that explicitly allows safe driverless operations.
Facilitate community engagement so residents can experience the technology and provide feedback.
Establish pilot partnerships with transit agencies and local organizations to demonstrate real-world benefits.

Taking these steps will position D.C. as one of our national leaders in shaping smart, forward-looking transportation policy.

Dear [Lawmaker],

I hope this note finds you well. As D.C. continues evaluating policy frameworks for emerging transportation technologies, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your leadership in helping shape a safe and forward-looking approach to driverless mobility.

Waymo’s goal is to be a responsible partner in this process, ensuring that autonomous technology supports the District’s broader priorities—safer streets, equitable access to transportation, and environmental sustainability. Clear, thoughtful policy frameworks will be key to enabling innovation while protecting public safety and ensuring that communities across the District benefit from these advancements.

We would welcome the opportunity to continue working with you and your colleagues as these frameworks take shape, whether through providing technical insights, sharing safety data, or facilitating opportunities for community input.

Please don’t hesitate to let me know if there are upcoming hearings, working groups, or conversations where our team’s participation would be valuable. We look forward to continuing this important collaboration.

Sincerely,
______
