 The Remarkable
Teddie-Joy Remhild
Ability Anyware Digital Quarterly was
saddened to discover that Teddie-Joy
Remhild passed away recently. Ms.
Remhild was a blind mother, former
program director, educator, disability
rights activist, prodigious writer, and
incredible source of inspiration for the
disability community. She had a
contagious enthusiasm, positive
outlook on life, and profound
determination in advocating on
behalf of individuals with disabilities.
She had impeccable skills with
assessing, articulating, and addressing
the needs of the disability community.
Her name appeared frequently in
numerous records of disability
commission meetings and disability
rights publications. For more
information about Mrs. Remhild and
her projects, please visit Disability &
Aging Advocacy and American
Council of the Blind.
Teddie-Joy left an indelible imprint with serving
more than 40 years in the disability advocacy
field. She will be deeply missed. We thank her for
being such a terrific mentor, compassionate soul,
and extraordinary human being.
AFTER THE TEARS
After the tears, there is time,
Time to reflect, time to review.
After the tears, there is time,
Time to renew.
The losses of life bring tears and pain.
Yet, after the tears,
The gift of time still does remain.
Precious are the tears shed for loss of life and love,
The gift of time offers the strength of life
And the potential to rise above.
-Teddie Joy Remhild

 "Uplyfting" Partnerships with Disability Lyft Partners with National Federation of the
Advocacy Organizations Blind

Today, we’re excited to announce our

partnership with the National Federation of
the Blind, which has led the way in
advocating for the advancement of the
blind and low vision community.  
Access to affordable and flexible
transportation can make a big difference
in the lives of passengers with vision

smoother rides all around.

Amped-Up Ride Requests:
Lyft drivers who are deaf or hard of hearing
have told us that they often lose out on rides
because they miss the audible “ping” that
typically alerts drivers to a ride request. Here’s
where Amp — Lyft’s new, in-car
communication device — comes in. Deaf
and hard-of-hearing drivers will now see new
ride requests displayed on their Amp device,
with text reading “NEW RIDE.” This is just one
more way that Amp continues to better
connect our drivers and passengers.
Passenger Notifications:
Passengers will also experience a new app
feature, letting them know that their driver is
deaf or hard of hearing before their Lyft
arrives. Through an SMS notification,
passengers will be alerted to contact their
driver by text rather than by phone, and to be Educating drivers
sure to let the driver lead the way with
communication.
National Association of the Deaf Partnership:
We’re also excited to announce a new
partnership with the National Association of
the Deaf (NAD). Through this partnership, Lyft
and NAD will work together to develop further driver community about the policy, and
app improvements, grow awareness of
economic opportunities for the deaf and
hard-of-hearing, and engage policymakers
on the importance of ridesharing access.
With these product improvements and this
new partnership, we’re committed to
continuing to deliver a seamless, safe, and
innovative experience for our diverse Lyft
community.
Here are some of the ways our partnership
is improving the ride experience for blind
passengers:

Technology staff to make our app more
accessible to blind passengers. Educating
the public and policymakers We’re
collaborating with the National Federation
of the Blind to educate the public and
policymakers on the importance of access
to transportation, and how ridesharing can
improve the lives of blind passengers.
We’re also participating in the National
Federation of the Blind’s National
Convention this summer in Orlando.
With the help of the National Federation of
the Blind, we have updated Lyft’s service
animal policy for riders to provide clear
instructions for drivers so they can offer
welcoming and comfortable rides to blind
and low vision passengers. Lyft is also
committing to ongoing education to its
why it’s important to blind and low vision
riders. At Lyft, we celebrate a diverse cul-
ture where everyone feels welcome and
respected. Our partnership with the
National Federation of the Blind reflects an
important step in our commitment to
bringing the world’s best transportation to
everyone — regardless of ability.

access to transportation.
