Jessica Beecham, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado, stated, "I've been denied on multiple occasions and they've ranged anywhere from causing me to miss very important appointments to being left in extraordinarily inclement weather." This highlights the severe impact of ride denials on blind individuals' ability to access essential services and navigate their daily lives.
The National Federation of the Blind claims that rideshare companies continue to discriminate against hundreds of blind people across the nation, saying, "We've negotiated, we've talked, pleaded, we've pushed, we've pulled but... these companies refuse to uphold their responsibilities." This reflects the ongoing struggle for rights and acknowledgment within the industry.
