Wheelchair Taxi Database

An international database of wheelchair accessible taxi services is being compiled by WheelchairTravel.org. You can help by submitting information about accessible taxi services that you have used at www.wheelchairtravel.org/taxis/. After launch, users will be able to search by city, state, and country. Each service will have a listing where users will be able to leave comments about their experiences.
