This paper evaluates the impact of ride-sharing services on traffic congestion by analyzing the effect of Uber entries on vehicle miles travelled (VMT) in 352 US MSAs between 2009 and 2017. Empirical results show that Uber entries decrease total VMT by about three percent. A further analysis indicates that Uber decreases traffic on arterial roads but increases traffic on collector roads. All these effects come from large MSAs and Uber entries have no significant effect on road traffic in smaller MSAs. These results provide guidance for policy makers aiming to mitigate traffic congestion by regulating the ride-sharing industry.
