Additionally, Uber is introducing a new feature that begins on Veterans Day. Veterans and military families who drive with Uber can share their military affiliation with riders directly through the new Uber app. When riders are matched with a member of the UberMILITARY community, a card will appear in their app letting them know their driver is a veteran or military family member.

Uber says nearly 70,000 service members, veterans and military spouses have signed up to drive as part of the UberMILITARY community.
