Uber has achieved the highest rating of three stars from the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Road Safety Index. This accolade highlights Uber's role in enhancing road safety and its commitment to safer mobility for users globally.
The FIA Road Safety Index is an independent audit assessing companies' road safety performance based on criteria such as risk management, safety policies, technological innovations, and overall traffic safety impact. Uber's top rating reflects its comprehensive safety initiatives across more than 70 countries, including both four-wheel and two-wheel operations.
Willem Groenewald, Secretary General for Automobile Mobility at the FIA, stated: “In everything we do at the FIA, in motor sport and mobility, safety always comes first. The FIA Road Safety Index provides a powerful tool for businesses to assess their safety impact and drive meaningful improvements, and Uber’s achievement of the highest rating demonstrates its ability to lead change by prioritizing safety through innovation, data-driven policies, and proactive risk management. This reflects the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and its contribution to making our roads safer.”
The assessment was conducted by Anders Lie and Claes Tingvall, recognized experts in road safety whose work has influenced global best practices. Their evaluation ensures that the rating is grounded in evidence-based criteria.
Anders Lie commented: “Uber has demonstrated a deep commitment to road safety through continuous transformation, responsible policies, and strong industry leadership. Their integration of safety technology, data-driven reporting, and proactive risk management sets a new benchmark for mobility companies worldwide.”
Claes Tingvall added: “Their clear commitment to comply with fundamental road rules and internal safety standards is both impressive and effective, setting a strong example for the personal transportation industry. By prioritizing safety across all aspects of their operations, Uber is making a meaningful impact in reducing road risks globally.”
Uber has introduced several innovations over time such as Bike Lane Alerts, Audio Seat Belt Reminders, crash detection features, safer routing options to avoid risky left turns, highlighting unprotected intersections, and using telematics technology for real-time driver feedback.
Roger Kaiser, Global Head of Safety Operations at Uber said: “We are honored to receive the highest rating from the FIA Road Safety Index and deeply appreciate the auditor’s thoughtful assessment of our work. This recognition reinforces our unwavering commitment to keeping our users safe. From investing in cutting-edge technology to continuously improving safety features; our focus remains on ensuring every ride is safer and more reliable for everyone who uses our platform.”
