Transit agencies have the ideas. This fund helps make them real. Proud to partner with Spare to support agencies testing and implementing innovative on-demand solutions, from first/last mile connections to late-night service and paratransit enhancements. If you’re attending #APTAMobility, stop by the Uber Transit and Spare booths to learn more.
Transit agencies are full of people who know exactly what their network needs. The hard part is getting the resources to prove it. The Uber Transit Innovation Fund is built for that moment. Up to $50,000 per agency to run a real on-demand pilot, with actual riders, actual data, and outcomes you can take back to your board and community. As an Uber Transit partner, Spare works alongside agencies who are ready to take that next step. Whether it's late-night coverage, a first/last mile connection, or a paratransit complement. This is the chance to turn a strong idea into a proven service. Twenty or more agencies will be selected across the US. Priority consideration closes June 30, 2026. https://ubr.to/4nsEH9P Heading to APTA Mobility? Come find us at the Spare and Uber booths — we'd love to hear what your agency has been building toward.

Access and independence go hand in hand. We’re proud to support Pace Suburban Bus's Rideshare Access Program (RAP). Designed for ADA paratransit riders in Pace's 6-county region in Northeastern Illinois, RAP provides subsidized, on-demand, same-day transportation using Uber Vouchers. Since launching in March 2024, Pace has delivered 2.9 million subsidized Uber rides for its riders. 🚗 The impact? Independence. The freedom to travel on one’s own schedule. And the ability to reclaim time for what matters most. 🌟 Pace rider Horacio's commute used to take 90 exhausting minutes each way. Now, he gets to work faster—and home to his family sooner.
