NYC Taxi & Limousine Comm.: Accessible Dispatch
The NYC Accessible Dispatch System links wheelchair passengers with accessible vehicles through a central dispatcher. Passengers call 311 to request the service. 311 connects the passenger to the dispatcher. The dispatcher collects the passenger's pick-up location and request for service. Then the dispatcher communicates electronically with participating drivers. The closest available driver accepts the dispatch and picks up the passenger.

Taxis For All Campaign
Forget about getting around New York City if you're in a wheelchair. Fewer than 80 of more than 13,000 yellow cabs are accessible. (Compare us to London, where every taxi can handle wheelchairs.) What's holding New York up? The taxi industry is resisting accessible cabs - just like the auto industry resisted seat belts, airbags and higher fuel economy. But the City regulates 100% of the taxi industry. So it's time for a mandated, gradual conversion to accessible vehicles for the entire fleet. Otherwise, 99+% of the fleet will remain out of reach for most wheelchair users.
