The majority of commercially available air “fresheners,” body sprays, and scented cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOC.) While VOCS can be tolerable in small quantities for many people, they are a known problem for individuals living with allergies, asthma, conditions affecting the immune system, mast cell disorders, long Covid, etc. These products can wreck havoc in a matter of minutes when someone is exposed in a confined space, like a vehicle, and cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, migraine, nausea, rash, flushing, wheezing, itching, etc. It is particularly troubling when these products are used heavily to “cover up” odor related to unapproved activities in the vehicle, like smoking.
This is a major accessibility issue and there is a very real and immediate need for drivers to be educated on the risks these products pose to some riders. Undoubtedly, there are drivers who chose to not use these products in their vehicle, at bare minimum there needs to be a way for riders to connect with these drivers. The current system is like someone with a nut allergy ordering food without knowing whether or not it contains nuts and the only way to find out is after exposure and if they wish to stop eating and go elsewhere the onus is on them to pay additional fees and deal with the inconvenience. Not acceptable and not necessary.
Charlie supported: Urge Rideshare Companies to Offer a "Sensory Friendly" OptionI a lot of people that can easily get over stimulated by either music to load, yelling, music and people talking at the same time, lights and more. So have an option for them is great and you will be improving the future for others generations to come. We are not going away disability people have always been here and will always be here. Could be something you been born with or later on in life that you have to adjust to this because of either trauma or a medical condition that got ignore for so long that it got worse. Anyone can be disabled at any point in life.
Amanda supported: Urge Rideshare Companies to Offer a "Sensory Friendly" OptionOne of the main things that prevents me from using ride services like Uber or Lyft, even when I really need it, is the possibility of sensory overload. Loud music, strong smells, and endless conversations can lead to me feeling overwhelmed before ever getting to my destination
Morgan supported: Urge Rideshare Companies to Offer a "Sensory Friendly" OptionI know many people whom have limited abilities.. I take my grandchildren to the park , currently have 8, one is nonverbal autistic and love to see him enjoy the outdoors/parks. My mother n mother-in-law both use walkers and it's difficult for them to get to most parks due to the accessibility to watch thier greats enjoy a park . I truly hope that we as a community can support our community by making better accessibility and understanding that everyone enjoys a Day at the Park . I do salute whomever keeps them clean , great job!
Ruth supported: Let's Create a Magical Bridge Playground in HealdsburgHybrid option allows more flexibility and promotes diverse learning styles! This issue also provides options for students who may have barriers like health issues or transportation challenges.
Han supported: Ensure Continuation of Hybrid Classes at LW Tech's Design ProgramI think getting rid of. Public transportation anywhere is ludicrous for it is so many's lifeline to life. So many people are cut off due to lack of transportation. You should be expanding bus lines not diminishing.
Mindy supported: Preserve the Bus Station at Lehigh Valley MallI don't have a car and I don't have a license I take the buses everywhere, not just to the mall where I work, so I'd have to spend a ton of money on uber or luft to get to where I need to be. Why the he'll would someone take away a public transportation place where not only young people take but elderly and disabled people also take. You are taking their right to transportation bc of a request from the lehigh valley mall, well they don't rely and depend on that transportation, so pls don't take that away, and if you do then what's next ?
