The National Association of Guide Dog Users, a division of the
National Federation of the Blind, would like to hear from you if
you have been denied a ride on the Lyft rideshare service because
you are traveling with your guide dog or other service animal. In
addition to using NFB’s Rideshare Discrimination Survey, <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.nfb.org/rideshare" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.nfb.org/rideshare</a>,
to gather information, during the week of January 24-30, 2022, we
will be gathering your experiences in video form to present to
Lyft. You do not have to be a member of the National Federation of
the Blind to complete this survey or submit a video. Information
about this project, including the links to the form and the town
hall, can be found here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

2022.<br>

In preparation for this information gathering project, NAGDU
hosted a town hall on Tuesday, January 18. During this town hall,
we answered many questions, including why we are gathering this
information to give to Lyft, how to fill out the form, and how to
submit the video. This link, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bit.ly/3KtYq4M" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://bit.ly/3KtYq4M</a>,
is for the recording of the town hall for those who were not able
to attend.<br>
