Uber Canada is proud to be a national partner of MADD Canada to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving, and on the alternatives available.
According to a report by Public First, Uber is having a significant impact on safety in Canada. When asked why they use Uber, 81% of Uber riders say reliability is a factor, and 78% claim that safety is the reason. As both a reliable and safe option, Uber is able to offer an important alternative to impaired driving. US research with MADD shows that 88% of respondents over the age of 21 agree with the statement that “Uber has made it easier for me to avoid driving home when I’ve had too much to drink.” Since 2017, Uber has been the Official Designated Driving App of MADD Canada.
Our mission isn’t complete, but we are making progress together toward the goal of reliable rides and safer roads for everyone. This is the future we are working toward: one in which more people in more cities across the country are empowered with more options that lead to better, safer choices.
