Opening Doors, Connecting Portland
Back in April, Portland became the only city in the U.S. where community members came together to craft recommendations to regulate and welcome ridesharing.

Supporting the Athletes that Inspire Us
At Uber, we’re committed to fostering independence and connecting you to places and possibilities. We’re proud to announce that we’ve partnered with Special Olympics Oregon to inspire athletes to pursue their goals and live the lives they want to everyday. Over the next few months, we’ll be following athletes along their journey to the Fall State Games and holding training sessions with athletes, coaches and families to show how Uber can help provide a safe, reliable option to get from place to place.

BEST DAY EVER: Partner Picnic!
Last week, we hosted a picnic in one of our favorite parks on the East side, Laurelhurst Park, where over 150 driver-partners and their families joined us for some good ol’ fashioned fun (and competition). Some of the highlights included a 30-team water balloon toss and an intense hour of piñata featuring some of our partners’ all-star little ones.
Neighborhood Love: Montavilla / Foster
As we clock in 120 days here in Portland under the City’s ridesharing pilot, we are really excited to continue helping residents explore the Rose City’s great neighborhoods. In fact, we’ve seen that Uber is as reliable for those who live in the bustling downtown, as those living in more distant neighborhoods like Montavilla with […]
