Autonomous vehicles join Chandler Flex service

Waymo’s autonomous vehicles (AVs) became part of Chandler Flex, a microtransit service in Chandler, Ariz., on Thursday.

Chandler’s public transit network is the first in the United States to directly incorporate Waymo’s AVs.

“Chandler has always been a hub for innovation, and we’re proud to be the first city to bring Waymo’s AVs into our public transit network,” Mayor Kevin Hartke said. “Chandler Flex has already provided nearly 120,000 rides to residents, and extending our partnership with Via and Waymo ensures we continue to expand mobility options and lead with forward-looking solutions for our community.”
