Though each company has specific policies concerning their drivers? responsibilities to provide rides to those of us who use service dogs to mitigate our disabilities, it seems their commitment to comply with the law and hold their drivers responsible are nothing more than words. In fact, when one service dog handler contacted Uber about one of their drivers denying a ride twice in three days, she was told she should request that driver not be assigned to her rather than permanently removing the driver from their platform as their policy requires. >> >> Advocates for Service Animal Partners urges you to join us in holding Uber and Lyft accountable for their persistent and pervasive pattern of discrimination by demanding the Department of Justice send a clear and unmistakable message to Uber and Lyft that denying our civil rights will no longer be tolerated! >> >> Join the conversation >> >> WHAT: Solving the Uber/Lyft Service Animal Problem: You have the power! >> >> WHEN: Tuesday, February 7, 2023TIMES: 1:00 p.m. & 8:00 p.m. Eastern >> >> WHERE: Anywhere & Everywhere Via Zoom; the link will be sent upon registration Advocates for Service Animal Partners provides this material for informational purposes only.
