Uber Zones at Penn

To make getting a ride faster and easier, we’ve created Uber Zones—designated locations where you can get picked up and dropped off more easily—all across Penn’s campus, from Hamilton Village to Penn Park. Some areas have multiple Uber Zones nearby, so you can choose a location that’s most convenient for you.

While we encourage you to use the Uber Zones whenever possible, you can also request a ride from other vehicle-accessible areas throughout campus. See below for the current list of Uber Zones at Penn.
