[NFBMT] Ride Sharing

[Bruce&Joy Breslauer]

That's why it's so important that those of us who do have access to Uber and
have guide or service dogs or ride with someone who has a guide or a service
dog use this ride sharing testing form.

I wish I could test Uber & Lift but we don't have them in Corvallis or
Hamilton.  We don't get to Missoula enough to test them because we already
have a ride up there unless we take the Paratransit bus.  The only place I've
had problems with my guide dog is in Denver with Taxis, being denied a ride.
I don't know of more than 7 people in our state that use a guide dog.

I got a listing, as I do every month, of the ride share tests that our
National office receives every month.  This is the only month that I have
received a mention that someone else besides me has filled out and submitted
the ride sharing form.  I'm disappointed.  This testing is going to go on for
several more years, and it's imperative that we hold their feet to the fire
as far as how they treat us and whether they accept us with our guide or
service dogs.  I know there are others of you out there that regularly use
Uber.  You should be participating in this Ride Share Testing, especially if
you want to benefit from the results.  I can't make you do it, but I don't
understand why you're not submitting your input.  It would make a big
difference regarding how many tests Montana submits.  And it's just the right
thing to do.  As long as we have this forum, let's please use it.

Live the life you want



The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
