Background
As cities emerged from COVID-19, the demand for safe, efficient, and sustainable mobility solutions increased. Uber sought to reposition itself as a key partner in urban transportation by enhancing public accountability and proactively addressing congestion challenges.
UrbanSense Approach & Outcomes
UrbanSense offered customized support for Uber's city engagement and mobility initiatives, which included the following:
Strategic Urban Alignment: Analyzed Uber’s offerings to align with city priorities and enhance urban mobility.
Congestion Playbook: Developed a scalable, plug-and-play guide for mitigating traffic congestion.
Mobility Investments: Identified key product opportunities to reduce district-level congestion and improve transportation.
Uber Mobility Solutions: Supported the launch of an internal consulting division dedicated to optimizing mobility around developments and events.
“UrbanSense’s work outlined the case for Uber product investments including addressing district-level congestion in cities. The analysis helped the team stand up an internal consulting division, called Uber Mobility Solutions, that is working with clients on improving mobility around developments and events.”
