The Rochester City Council approved a TNC ordinance in December after spending months debating the issue.

“We know Rochester has been calling out for ridesharing and we are honored to be able to answer that call. Whether it’s serving as an alternative to drunk driving or offering a new, flexible way to earn money on your own schedule, we’re looking forward to seeing how Uber can extend transportation options for both residents and visitors in Rochester,” said Carrol Chang, General Manager of Uber Minnesota.

To celebrate the launch, Uber is offering two free rides to Rochester residents up to $15. Users can enter promo code RIDEROCHESTER into the Uber app to redeem the free rides through Sunday, March 5th at 11:59pm.
