More wheelchair-accessible rides and grants

The commission runs a program to expand on-demand wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) rides in areas with need, using public workshops. Trip fees go into the Access for All Fund, which gives competitive grants to providers serving riders with disabilities, and money is split by where the trips happened. Funds are available to spend at any time and are sent out within 90 days after each year; unawarded money rolls over. Grant recipients and any company that gets an offset must report each quarter on WAV requests, completed trips, response times, outreach, and spending, and the commission sets yearly service benchmarks. A working group coordinates agencies and companies, and up to 2% of existing TNC regulatory funds can support accessibility advocates in the proceeding; those fees cannot be raised to pay for it.

Program ends January 1, 2032

The wheelchair-accessible ride program and its rules end on January 1, 2032. After that, the law’s authorities, reports, fees, and grant rules stop. If you rely on WAV service, program support may drop after that date.

Small ride fee, waivers for good service

You pay $0.05 for each app-based ride that starts in commission‑selected areas. Companies add the fee to your trip and send totals in each quarter, and the commission may set different fee levels by area. If a company meets the required service in an area for a year, including timely responses for at least 80% of WAV ride requests, it pays no fee there the next year. A company can also lower what it owes by proving it spent money that quarter to improve WAV service and that the spending raised driver availability, improved response times, and included outreach. Companies can meet WAV rules by using their app, owning WAVs, contracting with other providers, or mixing these.
