New Survey - Wheelchair Users and Taxis/TLC Central Dispatch Program

September 5, 2008

As an advocate for a 100% accessible taxi fleet I am attempting to gauge the quality and success of the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission’s accessible services for people with disabilities, particularly the recently instituted Central Dispatch pilot program for wheelchair accessible taxis and livery vehicles that will last for the next two years. Through Central Dispatch, wheelchair-users can now call 311 and a wheelchair accessible taxi will be sent to their location anywhere in the five boroughs. Pick ups can also be scheduled in advance.

I have created a survey just for wheelchair users that ride in taxis that can be found in the Surveys section of my website, so that you can share your experiences with me. The data collected from this survey will be made public. I ask that if you are a New York City wheelchair user that you fill out the survey every time you ride in a taxi, whether or not you use Central Dispatch for that ride.
