Manage faculty and staff travel and expenses
The Travel Program tool gives universities and colleges a smarter way to manage ground transportation—letting faculty and staff request Uber rides for work with built-in policy controls and automatic billing.
Customize your program
Choose geography and times of day
Define specific geographic zones and time windows where rides can be used, according to institutional policies.
Limit overall usage
Limit the number of rides, set spending caps, and assign expense codes to track departmental usage.
Manage ride types
Select from economy or premium ride options based on user type.
Pay-per-performance
Uber’s pay-per-performance model ensures your institution only pays for services actually used.
Getting started is easy
Create your travel program in minutes and get real-time reporting and tracking updates.
Step 1: Create an account
Sign in or create an Uber account with your work email and follow the instructions to sign up your organization for Uber for Business. Verify your work email address when prompted.
Step 2: Add your payment method
Select Travel Program, then set up the method you want to use for payment.
Step 3: Set your limits
Set ride and meal limits based on day, time, location, and budget. You can also let your users charge to a single department account or their personal cards.
Step 4: Invite eligible faculty and staff
Get your team on board by inviting them to join your institution's business profile. Users can easily link their personal and business profiles via email or text, and toggle between them as needed.
Step 5: Get moving
Users can begin enjoying rides while you oversee it all from the dashboard.
Step 6: Track
Forget about saving receipts. Automatically add each trip to expense systems that can be reviewed weekly or monthly for easy budget tracking.
