The Taxi Saver program provides registered handyDART clients with greater convenience for spontaneous travel when handyDART cannot accommodate their travel needs.

How it Works

Registered handyDART customers can purchase a booklet of Taxi Saver coupons worth $60 at a cost of $30 once a month. You may use your Taxi Saver coupons when handyDART is unable to transport you, or when take an unplanned trip.

Taxi Saver coupons come in denominations of $1.00 and $2.00 The coupons are used to pay the even dollar amount of the taxi meter fare. You will pay the change in coin because taxi drivers do not make change on Taxi Saver coupons. For example, if your fare comes to $5.80, you will give $5.00 in coupons and $.80 in change.

handyDART clients will need a handyPass to use the Taxi Saver Program. To get your handyPass, contact Penticton & District Community Resources Society at 492-5814 for an application. When you receive your application, complete it and send it with two passport-size photos to:
