I'm not a lawyer, but it doesn't seem as if it's legal for them to take that fact into account when making a decision

  If Uber drivers are employees, it is probably legal (and possibly mandatory for the employer) to take the employee health impact into account when assigning employees. If Uber drivers are independent service providers to the passenger matched through a matchmaking service, and the law prohibits discrimination against people with service animals, they probably are not. Different jurisdictions (even within the US) may treat Uber drivers differently resulting in different results.

    ADA is a federal law, so I don't think it would make any difference within the US in different jurisdictions.

      > ADA is a federal law, so I don't think it would make any difference within the US in different jurisdictions. ADA applies to employers for their employees disabilities, and providers of goods and services for their customers disabilities. In a jurisdiction where Uber is a provider, the driver is an employee, and the passenger is an Uber customer it may well apply differently than in a jurisdiction where Uber is a third-party-matchmaker-service, the driver is a provider of service to the passenger, and the passenger is a customer of the driver that locates and pays the driver through Uber services.
