Two recent launches from tech and transportation titan Uber aim to make being independent and on the go easier for older adults.

Built with input from older adults and accessibility experts, Uber’s new tools simplify the app for senior riders.

“Solutions like Uber’s senior accounts help break down that barrier by offering a simple and flexible way for older adults to get where they need to go – without always having to rely on others.

The rideshare company's latest features are designed to simplify the booking process for seniors and lets family members assist with booking and payments.

Senior accounts, available through Uber's family profiles, provides a streamlined version of the Uber app with larger text, fewer steps and the option of help.

“Senior accounts and Simple mode represent an important milestone in Uber’s ongoing commitment to accessible transportation,” said Ashu Manohar, Director of Product Management at Uber.
