In a groundbreaking collaboration set to redefine transportation and logistical support for a global event, Uber, the world’s leading mobility and delivery platform, has officially partnered with the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA.

This landmark agreement designates Uber as the exclusive rideshare and on-demand delivery partner, promising to revolutionize the experience for athletes, spectators, and operational staff during the highly anticipated Games in Los Angeles.

This strategic alliance underscores a shared commitment to innovation, efficiency, and delivering a seamless experience for all participants. Uber will leverage its extensive technological capabilities and operational expertise to facilitate smooth mobility and critical delivery services. A pivotal aspect of Uber’s role will be the design and implementation of advanced rideshare solutions across Los Angeles, encompassing access to a diverse fleet of cars, bikes, and scooters. This will facilitate multi-modal journeys to and from LA28 venues and designated mobility hubs, ensuring efficient and accessible transportation for the millions expected to attend.

Beyond transportation, Uber Eats will play a crucial role in powering the on-demand delivery program within the Olympic and Paralympic Village, guaranteeing prompt and convenient meal services for athletes. Additionally, LA28 plans to integrate Uber Eats mobile ordering at select in-venue locations, enhancing the spectator experience with effortless access to food and beverages.

Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and said, “We’re honoured to partner with LA28 and Team USA. It’s a tremendous privilege for us to help people from across the globe move around LA and offer on-demand delivery to the Olympic and Paralympic Village. The drivers, couriers and merchants who will show up for visitors and locals are the backbone who make the partnership come together. The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a true celebration of the human spirit, and we’re incredibly proud to be LA28’s trusted partner.”

Casey Wasserman, Chairperson and President of LA28, echoed these sentiments and added, “Mobility is at the heart of what makes the Olympic and Paralympic Games extraordinary, connecting athletes to venues, fans to experiences and our global community across LA. Uber’s commitment to innovation and seamless service aligns with our vision to deliver an unparalleled Games experience that showcases the very best of what our city and these athletes represent.” 

Uber will extend its wealth of experience to LA28 and its network of transportation partners, offering cutting-edge technology solutions, best-in-class operational practices, and a meticulously planned network of pickup and drop-off points, all designed to ensure a world-class mobility experience. This partnership also extends to supporting NBCUniversal’s comprehensive multi-platform coverage of both the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 and the LA28 Games. This collaboration aims to innovate how athlete narratives and competitive events are presented to a global audience, aligning perfectly with LA28’s overarching vision of hosting a “transit-first” Games that prioritizes efficient, sustainable, and accessible transportation.

This collaboration marks a significant step towards ensuring a technologically advanced and smoothly run LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, promising an elevated experience for athletes, fans, and the city of Los Angeles. Uber joins a growing roster of prominent partners for the LA28 Games, including Snowflake, Saatva, PennyMac, Allianz, AECOM, Cedars-SinaiDICK’S Sporting GoodsCiscoNew Era, and Guild.
