Summary
The proportion of wheelchair accessible taxi (WAT) vehicles in the multiple purpose taxi (MPT) fleet be maintained at present levels or higher.
The Northern Territory (NT) Government will monitor taxi numbers to balance the number of MPT licences compared to standard taxis.
This is to ensure equity of service to the disability community in all regions.
Status
This decision is being implemented along with:
- decision 1 - removal of the taxi licence cap
- decision 2 - key performance indicators and sanctions for multiple purpose taxis.
It's also dependent on the accomplishment of these decisions.
The Alice Springs and Darwin taxi licence ballot for:
- 2022 is primarily allocating MPT licences to improve wheelchair accessible taxi levels
- 2023 to 2026 will be offering:
- 5 MPT licences in Darwin
- 3 MPT licences in Alice Springs.
More incentive for the wheelchair accessible taxi industry to grow will also be provided by decision 2d - financial assistance to supply wheelchair accessible taxis.
