Supporting Philly Students

That is why we partnered with Cradles to Crayons, The Philadelphia School District, and Whole Foods Market to launch UberSCHOOL, to ensure all students get the proper supplies to succeed.

Celebrating 1 Year of uberX

One year ago today, on October 24, 2014, uberX launched in Philadelphia with a handful of cars and some very enthusiastic driver-partners. Since then, the community has grown and we owe that to you and your dedication to keeping the city moving. As part of the celebration, we asked some of our veteran driver-partners who have been on the platform since day-one to share their Uber experience and why they still love to drive.

Moving West and Northwest Philly

This past Monday we thanked the 1,100 Uber driver-partners who call West and Northwest Philly home with a partner appreciation luncheon at The Pegasus Room. Driver-partners, their friends, and families gathered to share stories and celebrate the vital role that they play in their neighborhoods. By serving their communities and safely transporting Philadelphians anytime, anywhere — whether it be to work, the grocery store, or back from a night out with friends — these driver-partners are able to support themselves and their families.
