Are You an Accessible Taxi User in Calgary?

The City of Calgary is making improvements to the wheelchair accessible taxi framework in Calgary.

Thank you to all the accessible taxi users and taxi drivers who attended the March 7, 2018 SPC on Community & Protective Services meeting to tell City Council why accessible taxi options are important in our city!

How do CAN Transportation Members Feel About Accessible Taxis in Calgary?

"People want their independence, dignity and respect intact in all aspects of their daily lives. The wheelchair accessible taxis are a vital component of life for a large number of citizens of all ages and backgrounds."
- Colin Cantlie
"I have personally taken wheelchair taxis and I have sometimes waited a long time for service and even experienced some safety issues. To me, this suggests there is room for my city to be more accessible for all."
​- Lauri Brunner
