Accessible Dispatch Program:

Accessible Taxi Service for Passengers that use Wheelchairs

 

 

The NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) has launched an Accessible Dispatch Program. It is a temporary pilot project to try out a central dispatch system that matches passengers who use wheelchairs with accessible taxis. This project tests dispatching technology, measures demand for wheelchair accessible vehicles, and helps the City determine how to best provide accessible for-hire service. The system is for passengers that use wheelchairs only.

This system links passengers that use wheelchairs with accessible vehicles through a central dispatcher. Passengers call 311 for pre-arranged service. 311 connects the passenger to the dispatcher. The dispatcher collects the passenger's pick-up location and communicates electronically with participating drivers. The closest available driver accepts the dispatch and picks up the passenger.

Fares charged for Accessible Service are the same as the metered rate of all NYC yellow cabs.

TLC has partnered with the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, the Mayor’s Office of Operations, and the Department of Information Technologies and Telecommunications to create this program.
