Hello everyone, please share this wherever appropriate.


The National Association of Guide Dog Users 
(NAGDU), a division of the National Federation of 
the Blind (NFB), is collecting stories from 
handlers who have been denied rides from Lyft and 
Uber drivers in video form from October 1, 2021 
through March 31, 2022. Our goal is to put these 
videos together to present to the individual 
rideshare companies to make them aware that blind 
people with legitimate guide dogs and other 
service animals are still getting denied by 
drivers all over the country. You do not have to 
be a member of the NFB or NAGDU to submit a 
video. We ask that the videos are filmed after a 
denial occurs, not during. Videos should be no 
longer than one minute in length and should 
describe who you are and the impact of the 
denial. I.E. did you miss a doctor’s 
appointment or were you late to pick up your 
child from daycare? By submitting a video, you 
are giving us permission to share your 
information with Lyft and/or Uber. Please contact 
the NAGDU board of directors at (346) 439-7444 or 
<mailto:board at nagdu.org>board at nagdu.org if you 
have any questions or to submit your video.
