Uber is offering $1,000 in credits to commuters in the U.S. and Canada who choose public or alternative transport over their cars for five weeks. The “One Less Car” initiative aims to reduce emissions and promote eco-friendly transportation options. The program starts on July 22 in major cities.

Participants in the program will receive $500 in Uber app credits, a $200 voucher for car rental or sharing services, and $300 for alternative transport. Uber’s partnership with Hertz offers Tesla rentals to drivers in the U.S. and Europe. The initiative aligns with Uber’s commitment to support the transition to electric vehicles.

Uber’s initiative follows a successful campaign in Australia where commuters embraced walking, cycling, and ride-sharing. With approximately 233 million private vehicles in the U.S., Uber aims to reduce the number on the road through incentives and greener transport options. The move supports environmental sustainability and aligns with travel expectations this summer.
