Introducing uberWAV
Written byUber’s mission is to connect everyone to safe, reliable rides that arrive within minutes at the tap of a button. We know that riders with disabilities face a variety of problems accessing on-demand transportation in Phoenix. And while these problems are not unique to our city, there is more that can be done and Uber is proud to be a part of the solution.
Uber Phoenix is proud to announce we’ve launched uberWAV which is designed to grow the wheelchair accessible vehicle supply, transforming disabled transit and allowing on demand pickups within minutes instead of days. Drivers of these vehicles are knowledgeable of accessibility needs and are accommodating for riders who require wheelchair accessible vehicles with a ramp or hydraulic lift for transportation.
