Steering the future: Reducing college tuition for driver partners

Being an Uber driver partner isn’t just about moving people. We believe in helping pave the road to success for everyone who drives on the Uber platform. We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Robert Morris University. Active Uber driver partners are eligible to receive a 10% tuition reduction for any program at Robert Morris University.

Ride with #UberMILITARY and support veterans today

Help UberMILITARY salute our veterans today and every day.

Tell your State Rep to Stand with Uber!

This past August, Governor Quinn vetoed HB 4075, a bill that would have ended uberX as we know it in Illinois. Thank you for all your support. We’re thrilled that the Governor chose innovation over the status quo by supporting ridesharing in Illinois, but we need to make sure the state legislature doesn’t override the governor’s veto in the upcoming session. We need your help.

Driver Spotlight: Gina

Gina is an uberX driver-partner/CPA in training. She’s one of our many partners who hits the road between hitting the books. Gina is a full-time student at UIC, and when she’s not busy studying accounting or going out in River North with her friends, she’s behind the wheel getting to know Chicagoans one Uber ride at a time.

Moving food throughout Chicago

A priority for the Uber Chicago team is giving back. As we continue to expand across the globe, it’s important for us to remain a part of the Chicago community. Last month, we teamed up with Zero Percent for September’s Hunger Action Month. The goal of our partnership was to utilize our Uber Chicago team and uberX vehicles to help Zero Percent in their mission to eliminate foodwaste.

A Milestone for Innovation

Today’s a great day for innovation in Illinois. With the help of Governor Quinn, today we announced our plans to create 420 new jobs in Chicago by the end of 2016 as well as the expansion to our new regional office headquarters. Read more about Uber’s impact on Illinois here.

Your #uberBURBS weekend: Wheaton & Glen Ellyn

Today we’ve officially launched in Wheaton and Glen Ellyn! We’re excited to be here, and even more pumped to tell you all your rides could be FREE. You heard that right, you can earn free rides by sharing your invite code with friends, family and neighbors.

Driver Spotlight: Fiona

When she’s not busy creating confectionary masterpieces (we’ll get to that), being an awesome mom to her two kids, or dining at one of her favorite River North haunts, Fiona is driving for uberX. And killing it.

Riot Fest is here!

We know that any music festival can get chaotic when the music is blaring and the dance floor is shaking, but getting around doesn’t have to be a circus. That’s why we teamed up with Riot Fest to get you to and from the grounds safely and reliably.

We Appreciate Chicago Teachers!

Uber Chicago is proud to highlight the efforts of a very important group of partners on the Uber platform – our community’s teachers. This month, we’d like to celebrate and give back to the men and women who educate our city’s residents!
