NYLPI director of organizing and strategic research Justin Wood delivered testimony on accessibility in the for-hire vehicle industry this morning. The industry continues to openly discriminate against New Yorkers with disabilities, and wheelchair users in particular, by refusing to provide accessible vehicles and accessible service equal to the service those companies provide to other New Yorkers.

A NYLPI report published earlier this year found that Uber and Lyft fail to provide accessible vehicles to wheelchair users 70% of the time they are requested. You can read more about that report by clicking here.
