Taxis have the potential to increase the mobility of many travelers with disabilities if those taxis are fully accessible to the wide range of people with disabilities.

Taxi Voucher Program

How does it work?

Eligibility and application for the Taxi Voucher Program will be a part of the Teleride application process and will require the same physician or other professional verification forms.

Eligible individuals will be allowed to purchase up to $100.00 worth of credit on their taxi voucher debit card per month, which will cost them only $50.00.

Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) Program

GRH ensures a ride home for those who regularly take the bus, vanpool, carpool, bike, or walk to work and find themselves facing unexpected schedule changes.

How does it work?

The GRH program ensures a ride home if, for example, a family emergency suddenly arises that requires the rider to leave work, or if unscheduled but mandatory overtime is issued by an employer; being enrolled in the GRH program gets the commuter home.
