The regulation of the taxi industry is, in accordance with the Taxi Regulation Act 2003, a matter for the Commissioner on Taxi Regulation and the Minister for Transport has no role in relation thereto.

Proposals from the Commission to provide funding towards the upgrading of the wheelchair accessible fleet are under consideration in my Department.
