As part of a recent initiative to increase business and contribute to emissions reduction, Uber announced on Thursday that it will give $1,000 in credits to specific commuters in the US and Canada who give up driving for five weeks in favor of public transportation and other options.

The operator of a food delivery and ride-hailing platform has been fighting for the use of environmentally friendly electric vehicles for a number of years, and it has committed $800 million to help its driver partners switch to EVs completely by 2040.

Although it’s unclear how many EVs now make up its entire fleet, it has teamed with rental car firm Hertz to provide Tesla cars as a rental option for its drivers in the US and Europe.

For many years, the operator of a food delivery and ride-hailing platform has fought to promote the use of environmentally friendly electric vehicles.

As part of the “One Less Car” campaign, Uber will choose up to 175 vehicle owners in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, Miami, San Francisco, Toronto, and Vancouver for the five-week program that starts on July 22nd, subject to certain eligibility requirements.

They will receive a $200 coupon for carsharing or rental car services, $500 in credit that can be redeemed on the Uber app, and $300 for use on other modes including public transportation.

Uber conducted a similar campaign in Australia last year, and the results indicated that commuters who had given up their automobiles mostly turned to walking, cycling, and ride-sharing.

The decision was made because transportation companies, particularly well-known US airlines, anticipate a high volume of travel and tourism this summer.

Following their automobile abandonment, commuters in Australia demonstrated through a similar Uber effort last year that they primarily turned to walking, cycling, and ridesharing.

Over 80 million of the 233 million private vehicles in the US are driven less than 10 miles a day on average, according to Uber estimates.
