will cover $25 and the user pays $5.

to assist our members or any other blind person in your affiliate who you 
feel would benefit from this assistance.

remaining cost of the ride.)

We need to use discretion in assigning the code.  The code should not be 
shared with anyone. If they are aware of someone they feel could benefit 
from this assistance, they should refer them to Linda Melendez.
