Just days before Lyft’s initial public offering, the ride-hailing company is facing a class-action lawsuit over accessibility.

The Disability Rights Association asserts that Lyft has failed to make its drivers’ vehicles accessible to riders with wheelchairs. The suit, filed last week in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, doesn’t seek any monetary damages, but wants Lyft to modify its policies and practices to include ready access to wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAV) for riders who need such services.
