"The driver refused to transport me because I travel with a guide dog. The driver said he had never been informed that he was required to take guide dogs and questioned the truthfulness of my statements that Lyft drivers were required by contract and law to transport riders with service animals." – Guide Dog User in Texas, December 2023
This is one of many rideshare denials. End the discrimination. Respect our guide dogs and white canes. It’s our #RightToRide. #StopGuideDogDenials #Rideshare
“We were trying to get to a show and got four Uber denials within a half-hour period. These denials happened after sending a message to the drivers letting them know that we would be traveling with a service animal.” – Guide Dog User in California, January 2024

“The driver reported me as having a pet and said he had the right to deny pets. I explained numerous times it was a service animal and he was breaking the law. He asked me to close his door and drove off.” – Guide Dog User from Colorado, October 2024

During the 2023 National Convention, President Riccobono shared a time when he and two of his colleagues were denied a ride from an Uber driver. End discrimination. Respect our guide dogs and white canes. It’s our #RightToRide.
Join us to protest rideshare discrimination against blind people using guide dogs and white canes.
