A sustainable way to move
Our fully autonomous, all-electric fleet provides a zero-emission ride for everyone—serving our goal of empowering people to move safely and sustainably. We're building a future of sustainable transportation, one community at a time, by expanding electric vehicle access and supporting walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented neighborhoods.
Electric vehicle access for all
Shared electric transportation
Waymo's shared fully electric fleet connects more people with zero-emission vehicles. Whether someone can’t afford a personal vehicle, chooses not to own one, or is unable to drive, Waymo makes electric vehicle travel an accessible option for a wider range of people.
We’ve provided access to electric vehicles to hundreds of thousands of riders, and have served millions of fully electric autonomous trips.
Sustainability Impact
Cleaner rides, healthier communities
Our shared fleet of electric vehicles produces zero tailpipe emissions, making a real difference with every ride. By riding with Waymo One, you’re helping avoid carbon emissions and improve air quality in our communities.

36%
of SF riders connected to public transit
Survey data indicate that about 36% of SF riders have used Waymo One to connect to other forms of transit, like BART, Muni, or CalTrain.
Waymo developed a first-of-its-kind Avoided Emissions Methodology to quantify emissions averted by our shared, autonomous, electric vehicle service. Our methodology pulls from the latest industry standards and best practices to inform our riders, partners, and stakeholders about the environmental benefits of shared electric mobility.
Waymo partners with Alphabet in reporting greenhouse gas emissions under Alphabet's consolidated annual carbon reporting, which can be found here in the most recent annual Environmental Report.

Renewable energy is how we move
We’ve doubled down on our commitment to clean mobility by ensuring our all-electric fleet is powered by clean energy. Waymo sources renewable energy whenever possible by collaborating with local utilities and community choice energy programs filling gaps with high quality Renewable Energy Certificates.
Partnering locally to source clean energy
We're proud to partner with local energy providers to build a more sustainable future together.
