Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Driver Awards
The Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Driver Award highlights taxi drivers who serve Chicago’s community of people with disabilities by driving a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) taxi and providing exemplary customer service to passengers. WAV taxi drivers provide a critical service for people with disabilities by increasing accessible transportation options throughout Chicago.
Annually, the Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) recognizes outstanding taxi drivers for displaying exemplary service to people with disabilities. The award recipients are each awarded a free Chicago taxi medallion license to place a wheelchair accessible vehicle into service as a taxi for a minimum of 10 years.
