Getting out and voting is not only a right, but it is important for you to be counted. With midterm elections right around the corner, a company is making it even easier to get to the polls.

50,000 people will make their way to the Saratoga Race Course tomorrow for the 149th running of the 1.25 million dollar Travers Stakes.  Having a successful Travers Day isn't just about making the right bet.  It's about the finding the right food, managing the large crowd, conveniently getting around town, and of course, winning a few bucks wouldn't be so bad either.  Here are a couple of handy ti

This holiday week, law enforcement will be looking to get drunk and drugged drivers off the roads. Plus there is some incentive to get discounts on ride share services.

It's happened to you, I'm sure. You take a cab or ride-share, you get to your destination and that's when you find out something fell out of your pocket. At least none of your things were as strange as these. Or were they?

Just like Uber and Lyft can get you a ride somewhere, there is a new app now operating in the Capital Region that can help you dig out of the snow.

I was a little leery and didn't buy into the hype at first, but I'll admit I love having Uber in the Capital Region.

If you're going out on New Year's Eve, be safe about it, there's no reason to be drinking and driving and putting yourself and others at risk. Multiple people going out at one time leads to people trying to make extra money so look out for these scams on your way home.

When you are planning to go out and celebrate New Year's eve, make sure you also plan on a safe ride home. For the thirty third year the Albany County's Safe Ride Stop DWI will be in effect. This will include free rides and ride shares at a discount.

When I took my first Uber ride, I was really impressed with my driver Pam and how passionate she was for the Capital Region. Her goal, as an Uber driver, was to educate visitors and let them know what we have to offer. Well now she and all Uber drivers can help our communities.

Uber has been around for about a month, and they have released some statistics on their most popular drop off locations.
