All TLC Drivers (Medallion, Street Hail Livery and For Hire Vehicle) must attend and complete a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) Training Course to maintain their license. A license will not be issued or renewed if the course is not taken.
Download Chapter 80 - Drivers of Taxicabs, For-Hire Vehicles and Street Hail Liveries (PDF) for more details.
As a driver of a wheelchair accessible taxicab, you must help a wheelchair passenger to and from the sidewalk curb. You must also secure the passenger and his/her belongings in the vehicle. Time for unloading may not be charged.
Driver Bonus for Wheelchair Accessible Trips
Drivers will receive a $10 bonus, in addition to the fare, for every wheelchair accessible vehicle request originating from the call center.
