Uber partnerships vary from First Last Mile or Late Night connections, to using Uber transit tech (SaaS) to power transport agency on demand transit operations.

June 07: Enabling integrated and inclusive mobility with agile service models and technologies
New ways to solve the old first- and last-mile problem
This presentation is addressed to rail operators, and responds to the question: “How can you continue to grow your service and attract new riders without significant capital investments? We will highlight the case studies of two transit partners who have built travel behaviour change programs with Uber. Brightline is addressing the first- and last-mile challenge by tapping into Uber’s API. Commuters and travelers can book trips to and from five Brightline train stations within the Brightline app, as well as purchase tickets for the train itself and plan their entire journey without juggling multiple apps or websites. South Florida Regional Transportation Authority’s Tri-Rail service provides a range of shared mobility options for riders to get to and from their stations, including Uber. Riders simply scan a 2D barcode on the Tri-Rail website to receive a connecting trip at no cost.
