The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

The NTA administers two grant schemes for this sector - the Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) Grant Scheme and the Electric Small Public Service Vehicle (eSPSV) Grant Scheme.

Given the role of the Authority in these matters, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
