What Pride means to us

June 2, 2021 / Global

Everyone has a right to move, eat, work, and live openly and without fear. We all have a right to pride. This June and beyond, Uber is committed to helping empower a better experience for our LGBTQIA+ community. Every moment, every interaction matters – and it takes everyone.

Progress starts with people

We asked members across our Pride at Uber ERG what Pride means to them:

Here’s some of what we’re already doing to create a better experience for our LGBTQIA+ community at Uber:

We have Community Guidelines in place that explicitly prohibit discrimination
We’ve created a standalone option in our app to report discrimination
We’ve introduced transgender services to support our corporate employees and independent earners on the Uber platform on their transgender journey
We’ve committed free rides and meals to nearly 20 NGOs globally, including The Trevor Project, Vida Alegre, Albert Kennedy Trust, and TransEmpregos

And what we’re working on:

Creating new product features that allow transgender drivers, delivery people, and riders to use their self-identified chosen first name on our platform
Setting up a fund to help cover the costs associated with updating one’s name and gender on state and federal IDs and records
Implementing LGBTQIA+ bystander training for our corporate employees and everyone using our platform
Listening, learning, and engaging with community members to better support those using our platform
