[Nfbf-l] {Disarmed} Fw: Stand up for Uber in Florida!

[Marion Gwizdala]

Sherri,

	Though you may not have had issues with Uber, many other guide &
service dog users have. I have a message from Uber's national office that
they train all their drivers on the ADA, but also allow drivers an exemption
from taking service dogs if they have religious objections or have an
allergy or fear of dogs. IMO, they cannot have it both ways! At the same
time, if Uber were regulated as a taxi service - something they oppose with
the argument that they are not a taxicab but an app - perhaps we would have
some recourse when we are discriminated against.

Please join me in thanking Rep. Gaetz for putting forth legislation that
Uber will stay in Florida. Uber is a wonderful ride-sharing service, much
less expensive than cabs in my opinion. All drivers I have ridden with have
welcomed me and my guide dog.

                                Hi Sherri,

                                Today we took a first step in making sure 
that Florida remains a home for ridesharing services like Uber.


                                State Rep. Matt Gaetz has championed HB 817,

a new piece of legislation that will promote public safety, encourage 
consumer choice, and keep Uber in the Sunshine State for good.

                                Join us in thanking Rep. Gaetz for his 
leadership on this critical issue - click below to send him a tweet right 
now!










                                We still have a long way to go before this 
bill becomes law, so we'll keep you updated.








                                Uber on,

                                Team Uber Florida
