Hello everyone, please share this wherever appropriate.


The National Association of Guide Dog Users, a division of the National Federation of the Blind, would like to hear from you if you have been denied a ride on the Lyft ridesharing service because you are traveling with your guide dog or other service animal. In addition to using NFB’s Rideshare Discrimination Survey, https://www.nfb.org/rideshare, to gather information, during the week of January 24-30, 2022, we will be gathering your experiences in video form to present to Lyft. You do not have to be a member of the National Federation of the Blind to complete this survey or submit a video. The link to the one-week survey is https://bit.ly/33bzI8F  <https://bit.ly/33bzI8F> 


Please note, this survey will not be available until January 24, 2022.


In preparation for this information gathering project, we will be hosting a town hall on Tuesday, January 18, 2022 at 8 PM Eastern time. The town hall will last for approximately one hour, and will serve as a way to answer your questions and to give you a demonstration of how to fill out the form and how to record the video. For those who are not able to attend the town hall, it will be recorded and the recording will be shared later in the week.

Please reach out to the NAGDU board of directors at board at nagdu.org <mailto:board at nagdu.org>  or (346) 439-7444 if you have any questions about this project or the town hall. The Zoom information for the town hall follows. Please note, this will also be added to the NAGDU public events calendar.

NAGDU is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
