Personal Delivery Devices
Personal Delivery Devices (PDDs) in the District
Personal delivery devices, or PDDs, are sidewalk robots that offer door-to-door delivery services in the District. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) allows these devices, when permitted, as an alternative to larger delivery vehicles and to help reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips. PDDs promise to offer greater accessibility to delivery services while reducing delivery-based street congestion and emissions.
