[Akron-Talk] Fwd: Lift codes you should get this information to your chapter members very soon some may already know.

[Dave Bertsch]

anybody use Lyft and want a free ride for the next week? Read below.

Chapter   Presidents:
Our rideshare partners at Lyft are providing us with additional general
coupons worth $25 per user. The code is being made available for use through
April 30. It should be used to assist our members or any other blind person
in your affiliate who you feel would benefit from this assistance.

In response to COVID-19, Lyft is offering free rides to Federation members
using the $25 valued code  until April 30, 2020, for essential services, as
deemed by your locality (i.e., grocery store, pharmacy, critical healthcare
services). Essential rides may include the following, subject to local
guidance:
*       Rides to "essential services" as deemed by your locality (such as
grocery store, food bank, pharmacy, hardware store)
*       Rides for families/caregivers/social workers to deliver needed
supplies or services for homebound and/or self-isolating people (such as
older adults)
*       Rides for senior citizens and other individuals to health
appointments
*       Rides for senior citizens to go shopping during seniors-only
shopping hours at a grocery store
This offer is intended for NFB members. Please do not post this on social
media channels.

Limited quantity available. Max one redemption per user. Valid for rides
through April 30, 2020. Cannot be combined with other ride credits or
offers. Subject to Lyft's Terms of Service
<https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lyft.com%2Fterms> . All
riders are asked to stay home if they are sick, and should work with a
medical professional to discuss transportation options if they need to see a
doctor. Per the CDC, anyone who suspects they may have or is diagnosed with
COVID-19 should not use ridesharing.
In order to use the code, individuals who you approve must:
a)      download and install the Lyft mobile application ("Lyft App") on a
compatible mobile device
b)      create and maintain an active Lyft account, including agreeing to
Lyft's Terms of Service.
c)      successfully redeem the code in the Rider's Lyft App
d)      take a standard ride on the Lyft App
(Note: for a ride taken by a rider that exceeds the amount of the Lyft code,
Lyft will charge the rider's personal payment method on file for the
remaining cost of the ride.)
Please use discretion in assigning the code and explain that the code should
not be shared with anyone. If they are aware of someone they feel could
benefit from this assistance, they should refer them to you or your
designee.
We want to make the process as simple as possible, while exercising care to
protect the code, and to collect information that would be helpful to us.
When assigning the code, please collect the following information:
1.      Name of individual requesting the code:
2.      Their city and state:
3.      Description of how the code will be used:
Please store this information in a spreadsheet if possible, or in a simple
Word document, and send it to Mya Taylor at mtaylor at nfb.org
<mailto:mtaylor at nfb.org>  by May 5, 2020. Please contact Mya if you have any
questions.

The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends
who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation's blind. Every day we work
together to help blind people live the lives they want.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
