A new Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Pilot program has begun in Eugene to provide transportation to people who use wheelchairs.

The program enables users to book an accessible taxi for round-the-clock rides within Eugene, paying a standard fare that the City will subsidize.

Taxis can accommodate up to two wheelchair users, service dogs, and up to three other people, operating within Eugene’s urban growth boundary and to and from the airport.

To use the service, passengers can call 541 345 1234 or download the Direct Medical Transport app.
