a persistent problem we face is the denial by rideshare drivers who refuse
to transport us because of our guide dogs and, sometimes, even just because
we are blind people. The National Federation of the Blind has redoubled our
efforts to make progress, but there is still much work to do.

During the 2023 National Convention, Uber representative, Liza Winship,
spoke to the convention about the company’s commitment. Review
Liza's remarks

.

“We have persuaded the courts to acknowledge that rideshare services are
subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act, and we demand that these
innovative transportation providers put the right policies and practices in
place to make the legal ruling a reality. We are tired of waiting for equal
treatment, and we are prepared to do everything necessary to stop the
harmful discrimination that blind people are experiencing daily from
drivers.” Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind

"Blind people should not have to experience worry over whether they will be
late for work, late to pick up their children from daycare, miss an
important medical appointment, or be left stranded in a potentially unsafe
environment caused by a denial." Raul Gallegos, President of the National
Association of Guide Dog Users
