Uber Vouchers Pay-per-performance
(Pay-per-trip,
Pay-per-subsidy)
Uber Vouchers allows the City to establish
rider co-pays as well as set maximum
subsidy levels to control budget and
spending.
For example, if the City requires the rider
to pay a mandatory $0.50 copay and the
City subsidizes up to $20 per trip, the City
will never be charged more than $20 per
trip. Any costs beyond this amount will be
the rider's responsibility.
In cases where the total fare is less than
$20.50, the City will only be billed for the
portion of the fare that remains after the
rider's $0.50 copay, meaning the City’s
charge will be less than $20.
Uber app $0.00 Included at no extra cost.
Note: Riders will receive their subsidies
directly through their free Uber account,
eliminating the need for membership/ID
cards. There is no monthly membership
fee for riders. Eligible participants will be
issued a voucher valid for 30 trips, and
copays are collected at the time of
booking. This approach offers riders
greater flexibility, ensuring they only use
what they need without worrying about
unused benefits going to waste.
Uber Call Center $5.00 per booking Trips booked through the Uber Call
Center are subject to a $5 booking fee.
This fee can be paid by the City via the
voucher subsidy or the rider through their
own payment method.
Note: Our partners typically survey which
riders need to use Uber’s Call Center and
increase the subsidy amount of the
voucher for those riders by $5 to cover the
booking fee.

E.3 Pay-per-performance model
Uber’s pay-per-performance cost model includes variable fees you’re already familiar with, such
as per minute and per mile. However, in order to deliver a great rider experience on the Uber
platform, we offer incentives to drivers when demand spikes to ensure adequate coverage is
available for riders. Generally, our dynamic pricing model can be understood as:
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
[(Base Fare + (Cost per minute * time in ride) + (Cost per mile * ride distance) + Booking Fee)] -
Rider ’s Cost (applicable if the agency sets a co-pay) = Agency Cost
● The Base Fare is determined by the time and distance of a trip.
● Booking Fee can include variable costs such as Long pickup Fee, Surge Fee, and
Cancellation Fee depending on the market. These fees help support operational,
regulatory, and safety costs.
● If the program requires split payments between the rider and the agency, the rider ’s
payment is subtracted from the overall Agency Cost.
