Wheelchair-Accessible Minivans

Taxi and other transportation services may want to consider having wheelchair minivans added to their fleets. These custom minivans allow for the safe and comfortable transport of mobility passengers when necessary, while not being restricted to that purpose exclusively.

Wheelchair Minivans for Commercial Use

Wheelchair-accessible minivans are a practical choice for taxicabs. Rear-entry models allow for two mobility passengers to be transported at the same time. Using removable bench seats, seven passengers can be transported in one trip if there are no mobility passengers on board. Rear-entry conversions are generally more durable than side-entry conversions.

Some areas require a side-entry setup, however, for the transportation of passengers with wheelchairs or other mobility devices. This layout is also good for transporting people who have luggage. Luggage can be stored behind the third row of seats and does not have to be moved when embarking or disembarking a mobility passenger.

Commercial enterprises that purchase new or used wheelchair-accessible minivans, or have vans converted for that use, are often eligible for rebates. To find out how to offset the cost of investing in a mobility-friendly fleet, inquire with the manufacturers of the vehicles, with veteran's associations and with the FTA. Make sure to have the necessary information about rebates before agreeing to a sale to ensure that all necessary prerequisites have been met.
