Opportunity for all

Giving people greater access to opportunity is at the heart of our innovations. For members of underserved communities, that means helping to provide opportunity for a source of income or access to getting around on their own terms.

Accessibility matters

Features that allow people to track rides, send text alerts, and request specially equipped vehicles for their needs help make the products available on our apps more accessible.

WeтАЩve launched WAV, with wheelchair-accessible vehicles, in cities across the US and are working with drivers to assist and to understand the needs of people who request these types of rides.

Economic opportunities for people who are deaf

Unemployment and underemployment among this group is around 70%. Uber has added unique product features to make it easier for people who are hard of hearing to drive using the Uber app.

Independence for older adults

Features designed to enhance senior living

With better mobility options, with or without a smartphone, the Uber platform can help older riders extend their independence and stay connected to friends, family, and healthcare providers.

Request a ride for a loved one

The app lets people request rides and pay for them on behalf of others. So no matter where your loved ones need to be (and where youтАЩre located), a reliable ride is just a few taps away.

Partnering with local senior centers

Senior centers across the US can provide better transportation service to their residents through our specialized app, Uber Central.
