Century U Ride

The Century College Student Senate and College Administration have partnered to launch the Century U Ride pilot program. Century U Ride is an on-demand transportation program developed in partnership with Uber. The program provides discounted rides for eligible or most Century College students. This pilot program is being launched to potential transportation issues that may affect students ability to attend classes at Century College.

This pilot program is being launched to both support and gauge student use of a new rideshare program.

Currently enrolled eligible students sign-up to receive a set number of $10 Uber ride vouchers each semester. Vouchers are valid five days a week, Monday from 6am to 10pm and Friday 6am to 6pm within a designated 25-mile service area.


Program Details

  • Eligible for $10 off an Uber ride
  • Six rides per semester
  • The ride must start or end at the Century College East or West campus (see the coverage area section) this means if you reserve a ride from a local address with the 25 mile coverage area the drop off point must be at Century College or from Century College to the local address.
  • The ride must fall within Century College’s normal hours of operation and academic calendar dates.
  • Ride discounts are only valid on standard uber rides

Coverage Area

To be eligible for the $10 discount, rides must start or end at Century College’s East or West campus (3300 Century Ave North, White Bear Lake, MN).
