Local impact Go anywhere COVID-19: Supporting our communities To support the need for essential workers to arrive at work and to keep families fed during the pandemic, Uber provided 10 million free or discounted rides and meals to hundreds of communities around the world. We partnered with transit agencies to provide late- night rides when transit service was limited due to budget cuts. Uber Health has played a key role in vaccine access efforts targeted at vulnerable communities because the product does not require that riders have smartphones, credit cards, or Uber accounts. Cities like Jersey City, NJ, and Vernon, CT, created services to book rides for residents who called into a hotline, and Uber Health partnered with 211 Connecticut and Community Health Center to similarly enable Uber Health rides to be booked through Connecticut’s Vaccine Appointment Assist Line. 2021 ESG Report 53
