flag Australians with disabilities gain better mobility via Uber trial, pushing states to update outdated ride subsidy rules.

flag Australians with disabilities are facing travel barriers due to outdated state subsidy programs that exclude rideshare services, according to advocacy groups. flag A national trial involving 148 participants found that discounted Uber rides led to more trips during peak hours and on weekends, supporting access to work, education, and social activities. flag Over 40% used both taxis and rideshares, 92% found the Uber app easier to use, and 82% said they could now take needed trips. flag Advocates urge state governments to modernize subsidies to include rideshare options, a change they’ve promoted for years.
