In many state and local government agencies, getting people where they need to go is still handled through a patchwork of manual processes, limited fleet availability, and inconsistent provider options.

The impact shows up quickly—delays in service delivery, missed appointments, and staff pulled into coordination work that takes time away from higher-priority tasks.

Join Government Technology and Uber for a live webinar to explore how agencies are addressing these gaps by incorporating Uber into their day-to-day operations. That might look like coordinating rides for staff traveling between field sites, helping individuals get to appointments tied to government programs, or ensuring participants can show up for workforce and reentry services.

We’ll look at how organizations are managing these scenarios through a centralized approach, setting clear usage policies, and gaining real-time visibility into activity. You’ll also get a practical view into how agencies are navigating procurement for these services.

You’ll learn:

  • How agencies can use Uber to coordinate rides for government programs and services
  • How to support staff travel needs and field work without relying on limited fleet or manual scheduling
  • How to get started quickly with straightforward procurement and built-in oversight
