Throughout September, homes in East Arlington and near The University of Texas at Arlington received at-home grocery deliveries with the help of small electric ground and air robots. The deliveries, which were boxes of nonperishable pantry items donated by the Tarrant Area Food Bank, were made available to participating households as part of the City of Arlington’s innovative Multimodal Delivery pilot program.

You can read more about the pilot program in the latest edition of the Leveraging Technology newsletter. This edition also features Cybersecurity Awareness Month and more.

All quarterly City Council priority newsletters are now produced in a digital formal, allowing for layers of additional video content and important links.

The Arlington City Council has identified “Leveraging Technology” as one of six priorities. Technology is an essential aspect of daily life and has quite the impact on our organization, residents, visitors and businesses. It is also integral in achieving the City’s other priorities: Invest in Our Economy, Support Youth and Families, Enhance Regional Mobility, Champion Great Neighborhoods and Build Unity.
