Excerpt: Both Lyft and Uber responded to the analysis and pointed to the myriad programs and options each company offers to reduce its environmental impact. “We want Uber to be a part of the solution to address climate change by working with cities to help create a low carbon transportation future,” an Uber spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “To unlock the opportunities we have to reduce emissions, we will continue to invest in products and advocate for policies that reduce car ownership, promote more pooled trips and support greater adoption of bikes, scooters, green vehicles and the use of public transit.”Lyft called the UCS report “misleading” in a statement. The spokesperson continued, “Lyft encourages the use of shared rides, was the first rideshare company to put public transit information into our app, and last year, made one of the largest single deployments of electric vehicles in the nation. We are eager to continue this work in partnership with cities to advance shared, sustainable transportation.”
