[nagdu] calls received for problems with cabs

[Marion Gwizdala]

Bibi,
    I probably get, on average, four calls each month concerning individuals 
who are facing discrimination due to the use of a guide or other service 
dog. Last year, I think I had 3 - 5 calls from individuals concerning access 
to taxicabs. In addition, I also got about the same number of calls from 
operators of taxicabs asking questions about their rights and 
responsibilities as it pertains to access by service dog users.
    I suspect that, once the NAGDU Information & Advocacy Hotline is in full 
swing and more widely marketed, these numbers will increase. HTH!

Fraternally yours,
Marion
