Along with this initiative, Uber is also distributing colouring books and hosting events at their Driver Partner support centres for their children. Just like the UberSCHOLAR, Uber aims to scale initiatives that will positively impact their Driver Partners like free accidental insurance, eye check-ups and a ‘pause button’ so the Uber driver partners can grab lunch or take a quick break.
