What Makes a Wheelchair Taxi Different From a Regular Taxi or Rideshare
A standard taxi or rideshare (Uber, Lyft) can’t safely transport someone who stays in their wheelchair during the ride. A true wheelchair taxi uses a van with a ramp or lift and a securement system that locks the chair in place, so riders never have to transfer out of their chair. The ADA National Network notes that accessible vehicles must have working lifts or ramps and proper securement equipment, which a typical rideshare vehicle isn’t built for. ACCESS drivers are trained specifically in loading, securing, and assisting wheelchair passengers.
