Promoting Maternal & Child Healthcare with Uber in Washington, DC

Transportation represents a major obstacle to obtaining prenatal care, especially for low-income women who may not have access to a reliable vehicle. But regular, timely prenatal visits are essential to monitoring the health of a mother and her unborn child. We are working with partners to test effective, customer-centric solutions to address this problem.
