医疗保健可及性:帮助缩小差距
An estimated 3.6 million Americans miss or delay medical care annually due to a lack of transportation, accounting for as many as a quarter of missed medical appointments. ² These barriers cost the healthcare system and taxpayers billions of dollars each year in missed appointments and emergency medical costs. Ridesharing is helping by connecting people with mobility options they may need.
- More than 1 in 4 adults (29%) who’ve used ridesharing in the previous year did so to attend a medical, dental, or therapy appointment³
- Uber has over 4,000 healthcare partnerships and supports millions of trips per month to doctor’s offices, clinics, and hospitals
- Since 2022, Uber has partnered with the Veterans Health Administration to secure health trips for almost 40,000 veterans, providing over 250,000 rides and saving taxpayers almost $200 million through mid-2024 alone
夜班工作者:轻松通勤
For many of the nearly 14 million people in the US who work evening or night hours, ridesharing can be the only stress-free way to commute when public transit isn't running. Nurses and other essential overnight workers frequently turn to Uber to keep communities safe and running.
- A quarter of night-shift workers (27%) say it’s difficult to access and use public transportation in their community⁴
- 75% of night-shift workers say ridesharing is important for their safety and convenience when commuting⁴

Breaking down barriers to care for economically and medically vulnerable people
The healthcare access gap hits vulnerable, underserved communities the hardest—especially people living in transit deserts or far from reliable care. To close that gap, we launched the Health Access Fund in 2022 with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, providing no-cost rides to medical appointments for low-income patients via transportation grants.
These grants help frontline organizations — free and charitable clinics, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), hospital systems, affordable housing providers, and social service agencies – integrate Uber Health rides directly into their care programs. So far, the Fund has delivered more than 400,000 free rides across 28 states, ensuring reliable access to essential medical and social services.
Every grantee is a mission-driven health organization with close ties to the community, serving people who are economically and medically vulnerable.
让更多人获得经济实惠的接载服务
Individuals and families of all income levels, backgrounds, and ages rely on Uber to get around when public or private options fall short. Uber strives to keep rides accessible and affordable for all communities. To help ensure accessibility, we offer options like senior accounts; to help reduce financial barriers, eligible individuals can use Medicare Advantage flex cards for rides. (Eligible flex card holders can also get food and pharmacy deliveries, and SNAP recipients can use their payment cards for meals on Uber Eats.)
Uber’s commitment to affordability extends to entire communities. Uber partners with cities across the country to provide an innovative paratransit solution that saves local governments money compared with traditional paratransit providers. This partnership not only helps save public funds but also leads to higher satisfaction and more reliable transportation for community members.
