Accessibility Statement

In Georgia, taxi companies are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This means they must adhere to specific requirements to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. 

Here's a breakdown of the key ADA regulations for taxi companies:

1. Non-Discrimination:

• Taxi companies cannot refuse service to a person with a disability who can use their vehicles. 

• They cannot discriminate based on disability in any aspect of their service, including hiring and employment practices. 

2. Service Requirements:
