We had the opportunity to support incredible women who are building businesses, solving real problems, and creating mea

At Uride, giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do. This February, we launched the Uride Student Support Fund , a $20,000 initiative designed to help students manage the rising cost of education.

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

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 .

That’s why we offered free rides (up to $10) to polling stations in every Uride city, helping people exercise their righ
