Doesn't this run contra to another recent story about Uber being against giving cities this data?

In that case, NYC is asking for addresses and timestamps. The data provided by Movement is aggregate. In other words, cities like NYC want Movement but without the anonymization.
This is probably their reaction to the government requests for data. They want to define the terms under which they share data, and "volunteering" is the way to do that.
This makes sense. I bet if anything the the NYC issue may have just hastened the release of this.
