Transit funding, both in the annual appropriations process and the recent five-year surface reauthorization bill approved by the Transportation Committee, is being reduced. Transit agencies need the support of their partners in the private sector.

As a result, we’re stepping up our commitment.

We announced the $1M Uber Transit Innovation Fund in the spring with the vision of supporting up to 20 forward-thinking public transit agencies, municipalities, and regional authorities in the US with up to $50,000 in funding.

We received an overwhelming interest from both US and Canadian agencies who are feeling pressure and wanting to solve problems with innovative projects aimed at keeping their communities moving.

Due to the abundance of applications and our continued commitment to public transit, we are increasing our initial investment to accommodate more agencies and expanding the fund to include Canadian agencies.

In addition to our first cohort of nine winners, we’re excited to announce an additional 26 Innovation Fund recipients, bringing the total funding awarded to $1.7M.
