Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion
Mr. Jim Waldron:
People entering into the industry with wheelchair accessible vehicles are grant aided. Our association has endorsed the fact that we believe to get the grant aid drivers should be able to prove that they are providing the service they are subsidised to do. Taxi drivers who have wheelchair accessible vehicles should have a record of the people they pick up and, if needed, provide this. They may be more available. We believe that people are entering into the industry with grant aid and are not providing those services.
