In partnership with YWCA Greater Austin, today we continue the Drive to Thrive campaign in Austin, TX to extend economic opportunity to women across the Austin community.

As part of our global commitment to empower women by providing earning opportunities, this campaign will focus on Austin women who are looking for a flexible and sustainable way to earn a living. It will also support YWCA’s efforts to equip women with the tools they need to thrive in the 21st century economy.

Women have told us they like to drive with Uber because it gives them a flexible and equitable earning opportunity — they can choose their own hours and be their own boss.

Both the YWCA and Uber believe that access to transportation should never be a barrier to employment. In addition to targeted driver recruiting efforts, Uber will provide discounted rides to and from the YWCA Austin for women experiencing incidental crises with regard to transportation.

Thanks to you, we’re creating more economic opportunities for Austinites every day.
