Set Up A Wheelchair Taxi Service

Adding wheelchair-accessible vans to your fleet is an ideal way to make your taxi service ADA or D409 compliant. Vans like the Dodge Caravan and Ford Freestar are commonly adapted with ramps to provide access to people with disabilities, and they can be taken to a regular mechanic for routine maintenance.

Add Wheelchair-Accessible Vans to Your Taxi Fleet

Whether your taxi company is required to provide access to people using wheelchairs or you just want to offer this service, a wheelchair-accessible van (or several) will make it easier for you to run your business more efficiently. A vehicle equipped with a ramp eliminates the need for passengers to exit their portable mobility device to enter the taxi. There is no more need to lift passengers into a regular taxicab and stow their portable mobility devices in the trunk. Families can easily make use of your services, as handicap-accessible minivans can transport up to six passengers at one time in most situations.

Your local laws may determine the type of vehicle you are required to use for your taxi business. Some local licensing agencies cite the side-entry accessible van as a requirement, but local regulations differ from region to region. Liberty Motor Company carries many rear- and side-entry vans in stock for personal and commercial use. We are happy to customize vehicles according to your specifications and can ship all vans to your business site throughout North America.
