The Department of Transport is administering the Regional Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) Taxi Service Grant (the Grant). These grants aim to contribute towards the cost of purchasing or replacing WAV taxis, and/or establishing WAV taxi services in towns where none exist.
The third round of the Grant scheme will be delivered in Albany. Demand for wheelchair accessible taxi services continue to increase in this area, exceeding the level of supply established WAV taxis can provide.
To inform this Grant round, we are conducting consultation to help us understand the experiences of people who use wheelchairs when they are travelling to and moving around Albany.
The Department of Transport will be visiting Albany in early February 2023. You’re invited to attend:
a public meeting in Albany with representatives from DoT on Wednesday 8 February 2023; and/or
organise a one-to-one meeting with our representatives on Wednesday 8 or Thursday 9 February 2023.
There are two ways we would like to hear from you:
