Today is a New Beginning
Written byPortland, the day has finally come– and boy are we excited to share the news with you. Yesterday, your city leaders passed a historic vote that makes ridesharing permanent in Portland. It’s been a long road, but we’re honored to be a part of a city that is a hub for transportation, technology, culture and creativity.
Today is a new beginning and we’re committed to keep Portland moving in every way possible. We look forward to creating thousands more economic opportunities for Portlanders, launching unique bike-friendly products like UberPEDAL and partnering with local organizations like Special Olympics Oregon, the Oregon Humane Society and the Timbers, to name just a few.
We wouldn’t have gotten this far without you, our riders, and the entrepreneurs who partner with us: people like Julia, a mother who used to drive an ambulance and now owns an independent massage business. Or David, a veteran who uses Uber’s flexibility and income to take care of his growing family and pay his bills.
Thank you for making your voice heard. Portland is now a city on the move and we can’t wait to take you where you need to go. Uber on!
Mayor Hales, Commissioner Novick, Commissioner Saltzman, the task force and PBOT, thank you for your leadership.
THANK YOUR PORTLAND LEADERS!
