Expanding our reach: announcing the final group of recipients for the Uber Transit Innovation Fund

In Autumn 2026, we launched the Uber Transit Innovation Fund with the aim of supporting innovative public transport agencies, councils, and regional authorities in the US with up to $50,000 in funding. 

Our third and final group of recipients includes 16 public transport agencies, bringing the final total of funding awarded to $2.41M, more than doubling our initial investment. 

With this inaugural fund, we’ve supported 51 transit agencies; a demonstration of our ongoing, steadfast commitment to public transport. From offering weekend service in Erie, Colorado to first-mile/last-mile connections in Brockton, Massachusetts; it’s our pleasure to support these projects that bridge gaps and build more connected communities. 

We’d like to sincerely thank all the organisations that submitted proposals to this fund. We’re looking forward to creating even more opportunities in the future to support transit agencies, local councils, and regional authorities in innovating public transport and expanding with on-demand rideshare services. 

Looking forward

We’re stoked to keep up with the progress of these groundbreaking projects and the communities they support.
