NAP- Neighborhood Alliance of Pawtucket

In April 2012, thirteen new accessible taxis will be introduced to Rhode Island, greatly improving access to transportation
for the mobility impaired.
Local taxi companies have purchased these
vehicles, with support from the Federal Transit Administration's New Freedom
program. The RI Public Transit Authority and the RI Division of Public Utilities
and Carriers also provided support to help bring these vehicles to Rhode
Island.
The taxis will serve seventeen communities in Rhode Island, including
Providence, Newport and Woonsocket. T.F. Green Airport in Warwick will also be
served.
How Do I Arrange for These Taxis?
The accessible taxis operate
just like any other licensed taxicabs in Rhode Island. Rides are arranged by
calling the taxi company licensed to operate in your community. Or, you may hail
an available cab on the street.
If your return trip begins outside the cab
company's licensed territory, it must be arranged in advance and made within 24
hours. You must have a return trip receipt in order to be picked up outside any
company's assigned service area.
Operating hours vary by company and the
number of accessible taxis is limited, so it is best to call and reserve a
vehicle in advance. Check out to find a company in your area. None in Pawtucket
