The Philadelphia Parking Authority will hold a press conference with Taxis For All Philadelphia tomorrow – Thursday – July 2, 2015 at 11:00 AM at the PPA’s Taxi and Limo Division HQ located at 2415 South Swanson Street, Philadelphia, PA.
The PPA and representatives from Taxis For All Philadelphia will be on hand to place into service the first of 150 new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) taxicabs in Philadelphia.
Taxis For All Philadelphia has been advocating to make Philadelphia the first city in America with a fully accessible taxicab system.
Fifty WAV medallions have been sold so far and eleven more will be up for sale in the coming weeks. With an overall target of 150 new WAV vehicles by 2021, the PPA expects to have 61 WAV taxicabs in service in Philadelphia by the fall.
