INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Waymo is expanding its ride-hailing service to include Scottsdale and nearly all of Tempe, company officials announced.
In addition, there will be more access to travelers in Chandler and Mesa.
The service will cover 180 square miles of the Valley with the expansion, according to Waymo.
Saswat Panigrahi, Waymo chief product officer, said the expansion in the Valley as well as San Francisco “will help us provide more trips to more riders in more places and are a big step forward on the road to growing our business.”
Stephanie Pressler at Experience Scottsdale welcomed the news.
“When it comes to transportation options, convenience, safety and efficiency are key for Scottsdale’s 9.7 million annual visitors," said Pressler, director of community and government affairs.
"Experience Scottsdale is excited that our visitors and residents alike will soon have a new option in Waymo as they move throughout Old Town Scottsdale’s shopping, entertainment, historic and arts districts, as well as travel to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.”
Waymo officials said in a release the company has opened a second location to reach Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at the 24th Street PHX SkyTrain station.
