By women, for women — and for safer communities.
WomenFirst is a community-driven ride-hailing service focused on safe, reliable, empowering transportation in Alberta and beyond.
A vision for safer transportation.
Angelika Urich, the founder of WomenFirst, Inc., was inspired by a vivid dream that underscored the urgent need for safe transportation for women. In the dream, she was driving a purple car when a distressed mother and her children knocked on her window, pleading for help.
They had narrowly escaped an attempted abduction by a male driver. Moved by their story, Angelika drove them to safety, resolving to address the vulnerabilities women face in transportation.
This vision became the foundation of WomenFirst, Inc., a company dedicated to empowering women through safe and reliable travel solutions.
