Dear Rideshare Testing Coordinators:

As we move into the final year of NFB’s settlement agreements with Uber and
Lyft, it is important that we continue to gather a high level of rideshare
tests nationwide. NFB’s attorneys will use information from the rideshare
testing to evaluate next steps in our efforts to stop driver discrimination
against travelers with service animals.

Please consider using the following social media messaging this month to
reach potential testers via Twitter, Facebook, and your affiliate’s
listserv.

·         We need to hear from you! If you use Uber or Lyft with a service
animal, tell us about your experience: https://nfb.org/rideshare-test .

·         If you’re denied transportation by an Uber or Lyft driver because
of your service animal, let the NFB know: https://nfb.org/rideshare-test.

Thank you again for your help with this important project. If you haven’t
yet, please take time to review the information at https://nfb.org/rideshare
.

Valerie
