This significant increase in emissions comes in part from “deadheading”—the miles a driver travels waiting for a ride request or picking up a passenger. Car and ride-hailing emissions are per trip-mile, regardless of how many people are in the vehicle on the same trip, but emissions are adjusted for pooled trips.
