[NFB-Idaho] FW: NFB's rideshare testing program

[president at nfbidaho.org]

If you are a guide dog handler and use a ride share program, please help by submitting a report about your experience either good or bad. I personally don’t do ride share very often but I know a lot of people do. This takes a little time, but we really need the information so we can stop the discrimination against those of us who travel with a guide dog. Let’s get our Idaho reports back on track.

Dear Rideshare Testing Coordinators:

 

As we move into the final year of NFB’s settlement agreements with Uber and Lyft, it is important that we continue to gather a high level of rideshare tests nationwide. NFB’s attorneys will use information from the rideshare testing to evaluate next steps in our efforts to stop driver discrimination against travelers with service animals.

 

Please consider using the following social media messaging this month to reach potential testers via Twitter, Facebook, and your affiliate’s listserv. 

·         We need to hear from you! If you use Uber or Lyft with a service animal, tell us about your experience: https://nfb.org/rideshare-test .

·         If you’re denied transportation by an Uber or Lyft driver because of your service animal, let the NFB know: https://nfb.org/rideshare-test.

 

Thank you again for your help with this important project. If you haven’t yet, please take time to review the information at https://nfb.org/rideshare.

 

Valerie
