Residents with mobility challenges will now have access to safe, reliable, and fully accessible transportation, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Through the ongoing efforts of Bradford's Accessibility Advisory Committee, council approved an Accessible Taxicab Grant giving people from all walks of life the extra support they deserve.
The new accessible service rolled into the Town of Bradford on Thursday, 'This is an exciting move forward for inclusivity and accessibility in Bradford West Gwillimbury (BWG),' said Mayor James Leduc. 'We're committed to making sure all of our residents have access to essential services, work opportunities, social events, and everything in between, and this is another step in the right direction.'
Riders can now book a taxi through Bradford/Bond Head Limousine Taxi (BB Taxi) and Town Taxi.
The town says this milestone marks a meaningful improvement in service delivery for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those using mobility aids. 'This advancement ensures that everyone in our community can move around BWG with ease and independence,' the Thursday release stated.
For more information on how to book an accessible taxicab, residents are encouraged to contact BB Taxi at (905) 775-5755 or Town Taxi at (905) 775-5656.
