On Tuesday, Nov. 6, anyone in the United States will be able to find their polling place and book a ride to go vote with just a few taps within the Uber app, according to Uber officials.
“To help the millions of Americans who cite transportation barriers as the reason they don’t vote, we’ll be partnering with #VoteTogether and Democracy Works to provide free rides to the polls,” said Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
Uber is also set to partner with nonprofit organizations to register voters before state deadlines.
“We will also be emailing information about how to register to vote to drivers and delivery partners across the United States,” said Khosrowshahi. “And between now and Election Day, we’ll be hosting voter registration drives at more than 125 U.S. Greenlight Hub locations around the country to help register as many eligible voters as possible before their state’s deadline.”
To help support voter registration efforts, Uber has partnered with When We All Vote to provide customers with voter registration tools. They’ve also shared registration resources with riders through the Uber app, according to the company.
“Decisions get made by those who show up,” said Khosrowshahi.
