My husband uses a white cane, and recently he got passed by when the driver saw him.  We were surprised.  It's not just dog users.

Thank you to everyone who is planning and coordinating this. I know it takes a lot of work to pull something like this off. 

I really hope I can go. Starting a new job soon makes planning a little difficult, but I will absolutely be there if I can. I won't have a dog with me though.

While we continue to hold regular meetings with both companies in good faith to improve their policies and practices, there is rarely a day that goes by when we do not learn of another ride denied to a blind person.We will take all of the courageous steps necessary to stop this second-class treatment."
