*****************************
Uride, a Canadian rideshare company operating right here in Sault Ste. Marie, is stepping up to support local voter turnout by offering free rides (up to $10) to and from polling stations this election day.
“There’s a lot going on in Canada right now, and we want to make sure all Canadians have a chance to have their voice heard,” said Cody Ruberto, Founder and CEO of Uride.
“Voting is one of the most important ways to do that. Whether someone doesn’t have access to a car, is on a tight budget, or just needs help - we want to help make voting as easy and accessible as possible.”
Transportation is one of the top reasons eligible voters don’t make it to the polls - especially among younger voters, seniors, and lower-income groups. Uride’s goal is to eliminate that obstacle and help Sault Ste. Marie residents take part in shaping their future.
To get a ride on election day, you can follow these steps:
- Download the Uride app
- Set your destination to your local polling station
- Enter the promo code VOTESSM
- Get a free ride up to $10
“At our core, we’re not just a tech company - we’re a people company,” Ruberto added.
“And this Election Day, we’re proud to be helping Canadians show up for each other, and for their future.”
Uride has built a reputation for supporting local initiatives, and every month a portion of all rides go towards supporting the community. If anyone needs assistance using the app or getting a ride, they can email support@uridetech.com for help.
