Understanding the Current State of Accessible Vehicles in Taxi and Shared Mobility Services in Canada

The READ Initiative has been engaged by Transport Canada to investigate the current state of accessible vehicles in taxi and rideshare services in Canada. This collaborative project endeavours to develop a quantitative picture of the number of accessible taxis and rideshare vehicles and a contextual qualitative understand of accessible vehicle availability and requests in Atlantic provinces. The goal of this work is to provide a strategy for collecting this data that will enable Transport Canada to later expand data collection into a Canada-wide project.
