Dear Affiliate Presidents:

Our rideshare partners at Lyft are providing us with additional general
coupons worth $25 per user. The code is being made available for use
through April 30. It should be used to assist our members or any other
blind person in your affiliate who you feel would benefit from this
assistance.



In response to COVID-19, Lyft is offering free rides to Federation members
using the $25 valued code *CVNFB25* until April 30, 2020, for essential
services, as deemed by your locality (i.e., grocery store, pharmacy,
critical healthcare services). Essential rides may include the following,
subject to local guidance:

   - Rides to "essential services" as deemed by your locality (such as
   grocery store, food bank, pharmacy, hardware store)
   - Rides for families/caregivers/social workers to deliver needed
   supplies or services for homebound and/or self-isolating people (such as
   older adults)
   - Rides for senior citizens and other individuals to health appointments
   - Rides for senior citizens to go shopping during seniors-only shopping
   hours at a grocery store

*This offer is intended for NFB members. Please do not post this on social
media channels*.



*Limited quantity available. Max one redemption per user. Valid for rides
through April 30, 2020. Cannot be combined with other ride credits or
offers. Subject to **Lyft's Terms of Service
<https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lyft.com%2Fterms>. All
riders are asked to stay home if they are sick, and should work with a
medical professional to discuss transportation options if they need to see
a doctor*.* Per the CDC, anyone who suspects they may have or is diagnosed
with COVID-19 should not use ridesharing.*

In order to use the code, individuals who you approve must:

a)      download and install the Lyft mobile application (“Lyft App”) on a
compatible mobile device

b)      create and maintain an active Lyft account, including agreeing to
Lyft’s Terms of Service.

c)       successfully redeem the code in the Rider’s Lyft App

d)      take a standard ride on the Lyft App

(Note: for a ride taken by a rider that exceeds the amount of the Lyft
code, Lyft will charge the rider’s personal payment method on file for the
remaining cost of the ride.)

Please use discretion in assigning the code, and explain that 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 you or your
designee.

We want to make the process as simple as possible, while exercising care to
protect the code, and to collect information that would be helpful to us.
When assigning the code, please collect the following information:

1.      Name of individual requesting the code:

2.      Their city and state:

3.      Description of how the code will be used:

Please store this information in a spreadsheet if possible, or in a simple
Word document, and send it to Mya Taylor at mtaylor at nfb.org by May 5, 2020.
Please contact Mya if you have any questions.
