December 23, 2025 | Canada This Christmas Day, Canadian rideshare company Uride  is helping ensure that transportation isn’t a barrier to spending the holidays with loved ones. Founded in Thunder Bay, Uride is offering free rides of up to $25 on Christmas Day  for individuals and families who may be struggling financially or who don’t have access to reliable transportation.

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday; it's a moment to pause, reflect, and share gratitude. It’s about celebrating kindness, community, and the joy of giving back. At Uride, we believe every small act of kindness can create a big impact. This Thanksgiving, through our Uride Good Deed Initiative, we set out to ensure the warmth and spirit of the season reached families who needed it most. A Small Ride, A Big Impact This year, every   Uride truly made a difference. A portion of

This July, Uride set out to do something simple, yet meaningful. We launched a kindness campaign with one goal in mind: to celebrate the people in our communities who go above and beyond every single day. The ones who show up, pitch in, lend a hand, and make the lives of others just a little bit better. We asked riders across Uride operating cities to nominate someone who inspires them through kindness. Someone who deserves a moment of recognition - not for being in the spotl

On Tuesday, June 24 , Uride launched a one-day initiative to turn everyday trips into real-world impact. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. , every ride taken helped support reforestation efforts across Canada — and the response was incredible. Thanks to every single rider  who took a trip that day, more than 5,000 trees  are now being planted to help restore wildfire-affected areas. Why It Matters Canada is facing one of the worst wildfire seasons on record. Millions of hectares of fores

Supporting Animal Shelters Across Canada for National Rescue Dog Day This month, Uride is wagging its tail for a cause close to our hearts - supporting local animal shelters  in honour of National Rescue Dog Day  (May 20th). Rescue dogs are the ultimate ride-or-die companions, and this May, we’re saying thank you to the amazing shelters that save and care for them every day. We’ve made donations to 22 animal shelters across Canada  to support their mission of rescuing, rehabi

Every month at Uride, we look for ways to give back to the communities we serve. This April, we dedicated our Good Deed initiative to one of the most important acts of civic engagement: voting . On April 28, 2025 , Canadians across the country headed to the polls to cast their vote—and we wanted to do our part to make sure getting there wasn’t a challenge. That’s why we offered free rides (up to $10)  to polling stations in every Uride city, helping people exercise their righ

At Uride, we believe in creating meaningful impact—not just through the rides we provide but by giving back to the communities we serve. This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to support organizations that uplift and empower women in need. Across Canada, countless shelters and support services work tirelessly to provide safety, resources, and hope to women facing challenges. This month, as part of our Good Deed Program, we are making donations to these vital organization

This winter is shaping up to be one of the harshest we’ve seen in recent years. Frigid temperatures, biting winds, and heavy snowfall have made life challenging for everyone, but it’s especially tough for those without proper winter clothing or access to warm shelter. At Uride, we believe in supporting the communities we serve, and that’s why we’re stepping up to make a difference during this challenging season. For many, winter can bring a sense of joy and togetherness, but
