In a statement Monday, Uber announced, on behalf of PeopleForBikes, the North American Bikeshare Association, and the League of American Bicyclist, it authored a letter urging the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure to prioritize the safety of vulnerable roadway users such as bicyclists, scooter riders, and pedestrians through additional funding measures and incentive programs.
Uber's aim is to create and support legislation at state, local, and federal levels. The company also announced the introduction of a new Bike Travel Tool to accompany its JUMP electric bike and scooter arm. The tool allows users to see where the elements like protected bike lanes are in a city, to help inform safer travel. "We are committed to helping make roads safe for everyone on all modes of travel, and we will continue to help make our new mobility options fit cities’ needs and priorities," the company said in a statement.

Uber isn't committed to anything except the payouts for their C-Suite. This is a ploy to buy good will from the general public.
