[New-york-news] Reminder

[margo Downey]

Hi, everyone.  Well, it's about the end of July and I hope you who travel
with service animals have sent in reports--positive and negative--to the
NFB Ridesharing Testing at nfb.org/rideshare.  I have sent in ten reports
this month and, luckily, they have been positive.  Remember that the Lyft
reporting is targeted to the New York City area.  I am going to paste in
the email I sent to New York News previously in case someone missed it or
if you need to read it again.  

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and staying cool.

Margo Downey, Rideshare Testing Coordinator, New York

Here is the email previously sent:

Dear All:

My name is Margo Downey and I am the new Ride Share Testing Coordinator for
the State of New York.

We are requesting that individuals who use Lyft and Uber services to report
positive and negative experiences, especially if traveling with a service
dog.  

Uber testing is targeted throughout the state.  Lyft testing is targeted
for the Greater New York City area.  And, it goes without saying that ride
sharing reports can be made anywhere, for example, at Convention in
Orlando.

Each report will give the reporter $40.  

The more reporting we do each month, the more grant monies we will receive
to use in our affiliate.  

We need at least 2 reports per month but 4 reports a month will give us
bonus funds.  Of course, I would hope people would report more.

Reporters do not have to be NFB members.  A reporter can be someone who
witnessed the occurrence.  Service dogs used for people with other
disabilities also can be reported.  

The link to find the online questionnaire and other information is

There is a questionnaire in English and one in Spanish.

Thanks for reading this and thanks for all reports.
