Few studies have examined whether there is an association between these services and traffic accidents, and virtually all of the existing studies focus in cities of United States. In this study, we analyse the impact of ridehailing services on traffic accidents with at least one young person dead or seriously injured (16-39 years old) in the municipality of Madrid from 2014 to 2018. To do this, a regresion analysis has been carried out using a Random-Effects Negative Binominal Regression (RENB). The results of the model show that Uber and Cabify services are related to a reduction in urban accidents.
