Uber released its Safety Report, the first comprehensive publication of its kind to be issued by a company, shares details on Uber's safety progress, processes, and data related to reports of the "most critical safety incidents" on its platform. For the purposes of the report, Uber examined data from 2017 and 2018, a time frime in which an average of over 3.1M trips took place each day in the U.S. The company claimed in the report that the "vast majority," or 99.9%, of Uber trips end without any safety-related issue at all. In terms of sexual assault data, the company reported the following for 2017 and 2018 combined: Non-Consensual Kissing of a Non-Sexual Body Part was reported to occur in about 1 in every 2,000,000 completed trips; attempted Non-Consensual Sexual Penetration was reported to occur in about 1 in 4,000,000 completed trip. This category covers a wide range of reports and includes attempted clothing removal and incident reports that are fragmented or incomplete due to memory loss or lack of event recall; Instances of Non-Consensual Touching of a Sexual Body Part were reported to occur in about 1 in every 800,000 trips; Non-Consensual Kissing of a Sexual Body Part was reported to occur in 1 in every 3,000,000 completed US trips; Non-Consensual Sexual Penetration-the most serious sexual assault category-was reported to occur in about 1 in 5,000,000 US trips, or on approximately 0.00002% of US trips; Across these 5 categories of sexual assault, riders account for nearly half (45%) of accused parties; From 2017 to 2018, Uber saw approximately a 16% decrease in the average incident rate of the 5 most serious sexual assault categories reported. Based on preliminary estimates for the first half of 2019, the same 5 categories of sexual assault currently reflect a 17-20% decrease when compared to the full year of 2018, the company said. However, as Uber invests even more in sexual assault prevention and reporting initiatives, there may be increased reporting of these 5 categories of sexual assault independent of the underlying frequency of occurrence, the company added.
