Accessibility Fund Program for Taxicab Drivers or Owners

An Accessibility Fund Program has been created to support the availability of accessible service and to offset the higher cost of providing wheelchair accessible service.

The program is funded by a regulatory charge on members of the industry. Toronto Taxicab Licensees (TTLs) and standard taxicab owners who have an accessible vehicle are exempt from these fees.

  • Funds will be disbursed to wheelchair accessible taxicab owners and drivers based on service standards and eligibility criteria.
  • Drivers will also be required to have valid accessible service training.
  • Drivers and owners under contract with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Wheel-Trans program are not eligible.

Applications for the Accessibility Fund Program for services offered in 2024 are being accepted. Please submit the Declaration Form for Vehicle-For-Hire Drivers and Taxicab Owners to accessibilityfundprogram@toronto.ca.

The City will email all applicants to advise if they have been refused funding under the program. If a taxicab owner or driver has been refused, they have 10 days to appeal this decision.

The City will send cheques to successful applicants.
