The Uber Airport Program provides eligible University of Iowa students with subsidized Uber vouchers for travel between campus and the Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) in Cedar Rapids during peak travel periods.

Through this program, students receive a $20 Uber voucher for rides scheduled within the designated travel window. Pickups must occur within one mile of the airport, and drop-offs must be within five miles of campus.

This program is meant to supplement the existing USG-funded shuttle service, offering greater flexibility for students with early, late, or non-standard flight times.
