Waymo is headed to Sacramento! As California’s capital and a growing center for progress, Sacramento’s spirit of innovation makes it the perfect next step for our expansion. We are eager to bring the future of mobility to this vibrant community, connecting its historic landmarks with its modern neighborhoods.

Starting this week, we’ll begin manually driving a fleet of our all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles around the Capital City. This initial phase allows the Waymo Driver to get to know Sacramento’s unique dynamics—from tree-lined avenues to busy downtown corridors—as we prepare to welcome public riders in the future. We’ll follow the same step-by-step approach we’ve taken in the six major cities that we currently operate in, and work closely with state and city leaders to ensure our service meets the diverse needs of Sacramento’s residents and the thousands of visitors who walk its historic blocks every day.

Our expansion aligns with Sacramento’s ambitious Vision Zero goals to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The data to date shows Waymo is improving road safety where it operates, and we look forward to supporting the city’s mission of creating safer streets for everyone.

“As Sacramento grows, so does our need for safe, reliable transportation,” said Kevin McCarty, Mayor of Sacramento. “We’re excited to work with Waymo to expand mobility options that are designed with safety at their core. By offering new ways to move around the Capital City, we’re providing our residents with more choice while staying focused on our goal of making every street safer for everyone.”
