Introducing Husker Share, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s latest program with Uber

Summary

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) has partnered with Uber to launch Husker Share, a campus-exclusive shared-rides program for students, faculty, and staff. Powered by Uber’s Closed Loop Share feature, the program matches verified UNL riders traveling in the same direction, supports sharing with up to two other riders, and limits each booking to one person. Eligible riders can save up to 20% on standard UberX fares, while the first 10,000 people to enroll receive $5 off their first trip. Enrollment requires an Uber account, the Uber app, and UNL credential verification; once approved, the option appears in the app, with trips required to start and end inside the designated service zone.
