(CNN) - Rideshare company Uber is changing course on its tipping policy.
The company said it will introduce tipping for drivers, something it has strongly objected to in the past.
Uber has been roiled by a series of crises in recent months, ranging from sexual harassment claims to an executive exodus.
The tipping change is part of a campaign Uber launched Tuesday called 180 Days of Change, pledging to make improvements for the next six months.
The tipping option will roll out Tuesday in Seattle, Minneapolis and Houston, and it is expected to expand to all U.S. cities by the end of July.
Competitor Lyft supported tipping since its early days.
But Uber repeatedly refused to include the option, citing a "hassle-free" experience that's better for drivers and riders.
