Thank you for an amazing year, Philly!

With your help, we launched new services like UberFAMILY and WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles). With your kindness, we donated money to help feed the hungry, school supplies to help educate kids, and coats to help warm up families. Finally, with your vocal support, we brought access to better, lower-cost transportation options to the city with uberX.

We couldn’t have done it without you, and we look forward to what’s next in 2015…

In 2014…

We offered Shoveling on-demand with UberSHOVEL to keep our community safe during the first major snowstorm of 2014.

We learned that we’re all connected. We hit 100+ Uber cities globally in April. (We’re now 250+!)

We introduced Uber to the South Jersey suburbs. Marc Vetri was Rider Zero.

We launched Uber down the Shore, partnered with MADD to raise awareness and reduce DUIs, and hosted events from AC to Avalon to spread the word.

We introduced UberFAMILY in Philadelphia: A Black Car or SUV with a child seat, two booster seats, and a driver partner trained by The Car Seat Lady to keep our little Uberettos safe.

We introduced new, much-needed accessible transportation options to the city with WAV (wheelchair-accessible vehicles).


We launched uberX, the lower-cost Uber that is cleaner, more reliable, and cheaper than a taxi.

We encouraged the community to shop small on Small Business Saturday with discounted trips.

We stepped up our style game with Commonwealth Proper and Nino Brand, giving some lucky, loyal UberBLACK riders some of the best threads in Philly.

We fed you Sbraga on-demand with UberLUNCH, while raising 4 million meals worth of donations as a company in partnership with No Kid Hungry.

We made it the holiday to remember for one lucky, UberBLACK-riding couple with the ultimate Uber proposal!
