    Applications are now being accepted for Accessible Taxi Grants. These grants help with costs of retrofitting a passenger vehicle to meet accessibility standards or even the purchase of a new vehicle. Up to $25,000 is available for individuals, companies and agencies that can deliver accessible taxi services. Children, Seniors and Social development Minister Paul Pike says, “Accessible transportation plays a vital role in removing barriers for persons with disabilities to participate meaningfully in their communities.” The deadline to apply is January 5th and more information can be found on the government website.
