Uber donates 30,000 free rides to vaccine sites for CT residents HARTFORD, Connecticut (WFSB) — In an effort to get as many people access to a COVID-19 vaccine, the United Way of Connecticut, Community Health Center, Inc. and Uber are coming together to provide free rides to vaccine sites. Uber is donating 30,000 free rides for those who have limited access to transportation so that they can get to a COVID-19 vaccine appointment. Connecticut residents can utilize this service to travel to and from appointments across the state. “These Uber rides act as another tool in our Connecticut toolbox to maximize vaccine access to tens of thousands of Connecticut residents,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in a statement. “This resource and partnership will allow so many of our neighbors to get their shot without worrying how they will get to and from the vaccination site. I want to thank Uber and our Connecticut partners for forging this commitment.”
